"Afrika" Overstolz Issued Cigarette Tin (Empty)

What we have here is an empty tin with no colour or trademark to the bottom half of the tin as it has worn off. But the lid displays the information This "Tropen-Packung" -tropical packaging variant of Overstolz cigarettes, was produced by Haus Neuerburg, a prominent German tobacco company. Overstolz was one of their flagship cigarette brands, known for quality and prestige. The name references the noble Overstolz family of Cologne. "Tropen-Packung" indicates this was a special packaging designed for tropical climates, likely used by the Afrika Korps These packs were made to withstand heat and humidity, often using metal Tins. Interestly there are some initals and numbers scratched into the base. Would make a nice addition to an Afrika Display.
