Good call: I think that is correct.

Cheers, Ade.

That's a cool oddity. Did you buy it?

Indeed it is Amsterdam, and as a former resident of the city, I know the XXX design well. I saw a number of these in an antiques markt in the Jordan district of the city, though I can't remember what date this would be, but either side of WWI would be about right IMO.
