Antique Sterling Silver Large Match Safe Vesta Case - Birmingham 1909
Hallmarked for manufacture in 1909 and assay mark for Birmingham.
Engraved with a pretty foliate pattern to the lid and both sides, with a plain section to one side where we find the initials ‘EW’.
Measuring a very wearable and quite large 3.9cm x 3.9cm, this heavy piece - 22.1 grams - would make a lovely ‘keep sake’ to which treasured momento, dried flowers or perhaps a secret note could be inserted and worn close to ones heart!
This charming antique vesta has been loved a little over the years but still has many many years of use ahead of him!
