Hello forum.
I would appreciate if anyone could identify a maker if possible and maybe city and/or a date range when this was made. The box is around 8.5 cm wide .
Click on each image to enlarge.
The marks are, from left to right, the quality mark 800, the Crescent Moon and Crown, A Unicorn and finally C Delta R.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The unicorn mark of Gebrüder Kühn.Schwäbisch Gmünd.
https://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_a1884_5.html
Founded in 1860 by Johann Stanislaus Nepomuk Kühn. His sons Emil and Gustav Kühn succeeded as Gebrüder Kühn. In 1914 a third generation takes over the business: Max Kühn and Gustav Kühn jr.
C Delta R could be a retailer.There is vice versa possibility (Gebrüder Kühn being retailers) but less likely.
Regards

Thank you AG.
I did find an image of the Unicorn mark and thought maybe the C Delta R was more specific. Hadn't considered a retailer.
Thanks again.
