Hi,

I can't help with the maker, but the mark on the right hand side of your last image is a Austrian Import mark.

Trev.

It is of utmost importance to tell the size, what is it? It could be an egg cobbler.

The height is 10 cms and the 8 cm width I do not know how to make the conversion in English sorry I don't know exactly to what is of use this jar

The size fits being an egg cobbler. You crack an egg into it and close the lid. Then you sink it in a kettle filled with water and boil it. After that have a good meal :-)))

you are the best !!! this is Egg Coddler this is my first thank you very much !!!

Hello, maker of the silver parts is Johann Franz jun. from Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Germany, active ca. 1892-1988. Best wishes, Bahner

hi bahner Thank you very much for this information which are important

Hello again

Now when the maker became clear I have to revise my statement. You see the maker is known for manufacturing smokers' accessories like cigarette cases etc. He also make photo frames and pocket accessories in silver. Therefore it is quite possible that it is a cigarette box/jar. Which one it is, is....? The size fits them both...I tend to believe in the cigarette case.

No problem even if I do not really know his utility. it is very attractive this jar. Still one thousand times thank you for all your information
