Here is for auction late 19th century Austrian Silver tobacco /cigar box with wood inlay.

The silver box is stamped with Diana's head mark, along with another mark which could be a city mark. In 1867 the cartouche shape and number within indicates the silver fineness, from 1872 a letter was added to indicate city of assay, but we can’t say for sure what it reads.
