Silversmith identification

Hi All
I have an item, not hallmarked but I am sure it is silver, with a maker name “F.HYAMS”. Is this a known maker?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

Hi Bartholomew
Thanks for the info! It seems to be a calling card holder, though slightly narrow. The name is on the inside of the hinged cover.
Rgds,
Alex
