Silver overlay scent bottle, souvenir of Memel

Green enamelled porcelain scent bottle with silver overlay showing the crest of the town of Memel. On the back the word MEMEL. Metal crown top. A German city with this name doesn’t exist anymore, now it’s called Klaipeda in Lithuania on the Baltic Sea coast. This was Hitler’s last territorial acquisition before World War II, but it was captured by the Soviet Red Army on 28 January 1945 with only about 50 remaining people. After the war the Memel Territory was incorporated into the Lithuanian SSR.
