Cig Cases

Interesting reading about the different cases. My father recently passed away and I found one of those cig cases among his assorted memorabilia. He never mentioned it to me so I really don't know anything about it, I do know he stopped buying this type of stuff in the early 1950's so I feel comfortable saying it was acquired well before then.

The case has the Mercedes-Benz logo on it (3 star) but its just the word Mercedes (no Benz) which I believe to be correct for that time frame, benz merged around the early to mid twenties if I'm not mistaken.

The following names are engraved inside.

Herman Göring
Bodenschatz
Loewenhardt
V. Boddien
Ernst Udet
Stapenharst
Gerstenberg
C. Allmenroden
Reinhard
Meirhoff
Freiherr Manfred Von Richthofen
Lothar Von Richofen
GuBmann
Krefft
Meyer
Von Osten
Hohnike
Scheffer
Wolff
Just
Muller
Parker
