From the estate of a German traveler pre-WW2
Vintage, possibly antique

Enamel shield says “LIEGE” (historic city in Belgium) The shield features the traditional regional colors and city crest, which tourists frequently collected to commemorate their travels across Belgium.

This ornate case was a type of popular European travel souvenir from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. They typically held miniature cardboard refill pads or slid over standard matchboxes or cigarette packs to prevent them from crushing in a pocket.

The exterior features detailed repoussé and chased scrollwork patterns. It is typically crafted from silver-plated brass, nickel-plated metal, or "German silver" (an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc).

A delightful gift for lovers of vintage European or Belgian collectibles. Makes a great conversation piece. Repurpose as a business card holder or to hold posture or notepads.
