Can anyone assist in identifying the marks on this matchbox holder. To the left of the marks it is stamped 833.

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
