The AMATI group was formed AFTER WWII when Czechoslovakia nationalized the old line Bohemian German-speaking instrument makers (Note that AMATI is an acronym in this case, not the name of an individual maker). So your Wurlitzer could be the work of any of several old Bohemian makers, including Cerveny, Huttl, Bohland&Fuchs and a bunch more.

And unless my sense of history is messed up, Czechoslovakia wasn't glued together until after WWI. Pre-WWI instruments are likely to say "Bohmen" or "Bohemia".
