Dutch Matchbox Holder
Re: Dutch Matchbox Holder
Hello and welcome to our forum,
The maker’s mark KBV in a 'deflated balloon' is for; Koninklijke Nederlandse Edelmetaal bedrijven Kempen Begeer & Vos. Registered in the Dutch cities of ’s Hertogenbosch & Utrecht & Voorschoten. Date used 1920-1931
The other Marks are fantasy marks. Kempen and Begeer sometimes made copies of old originals. Their pocket sundial is an other known item which could confuse us a little.
Regards,
Oel
