<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JUSTIN JAMES, post: 9516868, member: 17257&quot;]So I heard back this morning from an archivist at the Neuengamme Memorial. They were very interested in the cigarette tray. Like several suggested here, they think it was mostly likely made post war (1945 to 1948), when the British used the camp to hold detained German soldiers. I felt a bit of relief knowing this, and that the maker may not have died in that camp. It made the piece a little less haunting for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>They did notice but could not make out the initial marks from the original set of pics (far better eyes than mine) so I sent them close-up pics with my reply as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The actually offered to buy the cigarette tray. I told them I was open to whatever they thought was fair and that I really just wanted to confirm if it was an artifact and find a proper home for it to be preserved and displayed. I suspect I will be packaging and mailing it off later this week.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really want to thank all who chimed in on this, as well as the other items I have posted here in the past. I am not a frequent visitor to this forum but I have always found it and its members very informative and positive. I am still fairly new to treasure hunting and do not have the experience or expertise of many of you have accrued. Thank you all for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
