This is so unique! It is stamped on the base with the words STERLING and EVE. I have been unable to find a silver maker with those initials. Someone has suggested it could be French, though. This cannister/case is excellent. The only small area of concern is shown in the last photo, a small chip at the hinge area. The stripes are wild and gather a lot of attention! The hinge and clasp work well - the lid opens and closes properly. There is a lot of silver in this item. Sterling Silver Enamel Cylinder Cigar Box Cigarette Case Zebra Stripes 189g.
