Can you tell anything about this German tobacco box?

Hi

I asked this about year ago in old Forum, and I did find out factory which made these tobaccos. Now I would like to know can someone say when was this tobacco made, years? There was not anything about this tobacco brand in A-Batschari-Cigarettenfabrik (ABC) websites. Box is aluminium or some other metal so it must be from early 1940´s or earlier (I think). This is from my grandfather´s estate.

The factory which made this cigarettes was called Batschari in Baden-Baden. Not difficult to find out cause it'S written on the box
The factory was located between the Balzenbergstraße and Mozartstraße, builded in 1908/09.

ABC was the abbreviation for August Batschari Cigaretten.
In the depression after the first World War the factory was sold to 99% to Reentsma. They produces in that factory until end WW2. Funny to note that Reentsma is today the sponsor of the WW2 exhibition.
