WW2 Canadian Italian Souvenir - Sorrento 1944

Being made of olive wood and inlaid with darker veneers, these jewellry boxes are commonly sort after by collectors of this craftsmanship, typically known as Sorrento-wear. This is marked Sorrento 1944 and is inlaid with CA (Canadian Army) although I am sure similar boxes would have been produced as souvenirs for the Germans. The Canadians landed in Taranto and made their way to Salerno not for from Sorrento.
