Please could someone help provide me with a translation of the characters from the silver cigarette box pictured below. I do not know if it is a signature or not.
My guess is that it is a maker's mark, rather than the name of an individual. If it were an individual artist's name I would expect to see it carved/engraved into the silver, rather than the elaborate embossed gold/silver name on your case. But cigarette cases are definitely out of my comfort zone for making semi-educated guesses, so I could be wrong. The first character is 美 (bi = beautiful), but alas, the following two elude me. The are very stylized versions of what look to be simple kanji, but a bit too stylized for me to decipher.
