It is not unusual to have Fabergé items in simmilar fitted cases stamped LaCloche. After closing the London branch in November 1915, part of the remaining stock was acquired by the French firm LaCloche Frères. The inside of the fitted cases were changed and stamped with the name of the French firm." See von Habsburg, G. & von Solodkoff, A. Fabergé, (Fribourg, 1979). p. 53
