Here is a deskset by the KO CO (kronheimer and oldenbusch)

Kronheimer was a tobacco merchant and a prolific inventor. Oldenbusch was in the plating business.
They came together in 1904 and began producing many
forms and styles of high quality.

I really like the desk pieces and tobacciana this company made in the early 1900. The hammered marks are really small. So are the pieces themselves.

speaking of tobacciana. Here is a cigarette/pen holder.

Kronheimer and Oldenbusch gave art to many objects that people used at the time.
