The rounded sides of this cigarette case are plain and unembellished.
Each cover features a plain rounded thumbpiece in addition to a hallmarked push fit catch, which when released reveals two hinged compartments.

Maker’s mark: G.A.S (Georg Adam Scheid*).
Silver quality/purity mark: Dog head**, 800 (.800, 800/1000).
Assay mark: Dog head - A (Vienna, Austria).
Georg Adam Scheid is renowned for the high quality enamelling on silverware items.
