Musical Cigarette Dispenser
By Glenda Sutton

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I'm searching for information on an attic find from my late father's
house.  It is a brass container, covered in leather on the sides.  The
top lifts up to display holders for 25 cigarettes and when open, it
plays a German-type melody.

Using a magnifying glass, I discovered an emblem stamped in the wood
that looks like a harp, with the letters A B inside the harp.

Would you have any idea of the vintage or maker of this musical
cigarette box?

Thanks.
Glenda.

 [ Glenda attached a jpeg of the item, which looks rather like what
 [ collectors call a "mosque."
