..and again

Help please from an owner of London references for this bookmatch case. The images do not do it justice, the outside is engine-turned and the inside (as some will deduce) is flashed with gold in a frosted form. There is also engraved a poigniantly restrained "From Shirley", a story which will probably never now be told.

Thomas William Lack of Hatton Garden London worked from 1929 onwards making Boxes, cigarette cases, matchbook covers and spoons. Your case was made 1939-40. Best wishes, Mike.

Obliged to you Mike. That was a name that occured to me, but I knew I was out of my depth. Graham
