While we have been unable to confidently identify the lettering, it certainly adds a wonderful sense of individuality and mystery to this delightful piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully UK hallmarked, the case bears the Birmingham assay mark, Lion Passant denoting Sterling Silver, date letter ‘a’ for 1900, and the maker's mark ‘H \u0026amp; A’ for Horton \u0026amp; Allday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed to safely house a sovereign coin, these beautiful little cases were both practical and fashionable accessories in their day.
