Elegant mid-century cigarette or card case attributed to Josef Korn, a jeweler and watchmaker formerly located at Hauptstraße 63 in Rodenkirchen (Cologne, Germany). Crafted in solid Continental silver of approximately 835 grade (tested, unmarked), this piece features a hand-engraved "R·W" monogram and a rich gold-washed (gilt) interior—an outstanding example of late-Art-Deco to early-1950s German refinement.
• Composition: tested silver, approx. 835 standard (non-magnetic; cleaning produced black oxide typical of solid silver)
• Weight: ~92 g (3.3 oz gross / 2.47 troy oz fine silver)
• Interior: original gilt finish
• Monogram: "R·W" on front lid
• Dimensions: ≈ 3¾ × 3¾ in (9.5 × 9.5 cm)
• Retailer mark: Josef Korn – Uhren u. Goldwaren – Rodenkirchen (Rh.) – Hauptstraße 63
• Era: late 1930s – 1950s
• Condition: very good vintage condition; hinge and clasp function smoothly; light surface wear consistent with age; includes original presentation box.
Likely retailed through Korn's Cologne-Rodenkirchen shop, a known purveyor of fine watches and silver goods.
• Silver melt value ≈ $125–135 USD (October 2025 spot ≈ $52/oz)
• Collector value enhanced by craftsmanship, gilt interior, and documented retailer provenance
The case was retailed by Josef Korn Uhren & Goldwaren of Rodenkirchen (a district of Cologne), whose boutique was located at Hauptstraße 63. Korn's shop specialised in watches and gold-wares, operating in the mid-20th century.
