<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4536256, member: 2844&quot;]I still have a cigarette box in the same style. It was a present to my parents for their engagement in 1946, just after WWII. </p><p>In those days it was still difficult to find nice gifts of value, so much silver and gold had been stolen by the Nazis, and rebuilding the country took priority over mundane things like silver boxes. </p><p>But my parent&#039;s box had been hidden during the war along with more jeweller&#039;s stock, and inscribed with the date of the engagement in 1946.</p><p>It also has a Jan Steen scene, btw.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
