Doesn&#039;t say when the shop / business closed, though. It also shows that they were operating until at least 1954. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m inclined to think that they sold the cufflinks and the lighter around the same time, since they&#039;re a similar style. If that&#039;s the case, that would be the early 1930s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
