Who is supposed to be the maker?

 

Looks like a pocket ash tray.https://picclick.com/Vintage-Antique-Pocket-Ashtray-Gold-Tone-Oval-Ornate-192455680364.html

 

Pocket ashtray. 1970s or a bit before likely.

I agree with Holly, I remember using them years ago when I smoked (Quit smoking 2Oyrs ago ... Joy.

 

how come when the maker is hinting at a law of 1982 ?

 

Or a bit after... (Forgot the French continued to smoke long after those in the U.S.)

just imagine - they still smoke...at home.
public places and closed locations forbidden since 2007...but don't be amazed when you see a gendarme with a cigarette and a Pastis in a train station...

 

It's the medical professionals who continue to smoke that surprise me.

The people who've seen the effects first hand... I don't get that either. Two of my cousins smoke; they picked it up in the military. One was on submarines and even if you didn't smoke, you did. The other one was surface military and I guess everyone else did. No one else in the family ever picked it up. Personally I'm actually allergic to it, or at least really sensitive.
