As a reminder we have a lengthy thread here on all things Centenary, including their boxes.

I wondered if this was a famous person as it would have been expensive especially post war I found :
Alcina (Lemgruber) Kropf Portugal (primos de segundo grau) (born Lemgruber Kropf), 1882 - 1981
Alcina (Lemgruber) Kropf Portugal (primos de segundo grau)
Alcina had 7 siblings: Eugenio Lemgruber Knopf
According to another genealogy search apparently he passed away in 1959

Thank you! It also seems that one of his other siblings (Jao I believe) was the Brazilian ambassador to The Hague in 1909.

Spectacular find! Can't believe there are so many posts and no one has said the magic words yet?

Remarkable! I didn't even know things like this existed anymore - I guess it just means we have to keep hunting.

Still don't know how you find stuff like this. Everything you touch = quality. Mahalo.
