Karlsbad. Which is now the city of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic.
Karlsbad?
Its a towns name are you generalizing the script to be from WW2?
Charles’ bath 😉
Ah yes, clearly a Nazi paperweight. The ones issued to non-party members were more of a pale blue colour, as we all know.
Spot on with the dating too. The switch from dodecahedrons happened in early 1940, and by the final months of the war material shortages necessitated a move to simple cubes.
Did you buy this at the Comic book store in Karlsbad?
Btw. if this thing is made of Catalin it could be worth a lot of money ([example](https://www.ebay.de/itm/265434834303)).
Too lazy to put Karlsbad into google?
