The mark left to the crown mark looks like the LK mark of Louis Kuppenheim from Pforzheim, who made boxes like this and the purity 935 points to the thirties.

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked him up, and his work looks very interesting/nice; still a little spendy, though. Just out of curiosity, is silver enameling in vogue right now ...

Hi,
That was an easy one; the maker is famous Louis Kuppenheim,Pforzheim, Germany.
This LK mark was used 1924-1930 (it is Art Deco case, the marks fit the period).
See here for the history of the silversmith (some pictures are missing, though).

Thank you!
It is Louis Kuppenheim Germany!! Dates between 1912 to 1924 so fits in with WWI and I also found a mention of the Lieutenant in a local article on WWI out of Kansas. Charles H Gunn who was in charge of 356th in Germany.

See here for the mark on your vesta case and dating the maker:
