UNUSUAL ANTIQUE Solid Silver VESTA CASE 1904 Hallmarked Sterling Chester NR

STUNNING & UNUSUAL DESIGN - Chester - 1 1/2 troy oz

This is an ANTIQUE EDWARDIAN solid sterling silver vesta case or match stick case in a stunning and unusual design which was hallmarked in Chester, England in 1904. It is has plain sides and is engraved with DJM to the lid. It measures 2 1/8" wide by 1 5/8" deep and is 1/2" deep. It is very substantial, weighing 44.3 grams - almost 1 1/2 troy oz.

It has the usual light surface scratching and with almost NO dings and NO dents - SUPERB. The hinge is still firm and shuts well with no spring. It is hallmarked on the side with a rubbed makers mark, lion passant (sterling silver assay mark), three sheaves, D showing that it was hallmarked in Chester in 1904. I have shown the hallmark so that you can make up your own mind. A rare ANTIQUE vesta case in an unusual design after almost 110 years!!!!!! Postage will be 3.50GBP both within the UK and to international destinations.

Please note that the primary postage costs are for second class (or standard parcels service if the postage cost is over 6.00GBP) within the UK or surface mail to international destinations. First class post usually adds 50% to the quoted postage cost while airmail is typically double the cost of surface mail. If you want to know about the timescales and charges by Royal Mail then I suggest you look at http://www.royalmail.com. Please wait for my invoice with postage options that will be sent very soon after the auction finishes!

If you win more than one of my auctions, I am happy to combine packaging to reduce postage costs.
