A rectangular box with a hammered lid, ivory handle on front. Wooden lining with compartments inside. The traditional Franz Bibus trademark first appeared in 1896. Originally the company produced small gold and silver chains, but it gradually expanded its range to include boxes and later added flatware and tableware. In 1917 the company changed its name to Franz Bibus & Sohn. Producing silver, alpacca, and galvanized objects, the company remained in business until the 1940s, when František Bibus was forced to sell his company. After World War II the government merged all of the local workshops into a single unit, which was then made a part of the Sandrik state-owned enterprise.
