Welcome to my auctions, and please remember to check out my ebay store / shop.
YOU ARE ON THE PAGE - SO MAKE AN OFFER!I am pleased to be selling part of a large varied collection to be listed over the next few months of high quality vesta matchsafes and table stand-a-lones examples.This auction is for a late Victorian silver combination vesta matchsafe, being a working whistle as well.
Hallmarked for Birmingham 1888, with A & J Z maker, for Arthur & John Zi...mmerman or A & J Zimmerman Ltd. (Date is my opinion as slightly rubbed hallmark).Is completely plain in design to both the front and back.
Opens from the top and the lid closes back down with a good clip shut.
The striker is to the back just under the suspension ring - shows signs of wear to the striker.
Also has a very small ring and suspension ring just under the back hinge, so could be easily hung from your watch / albert chain or even around your neck!
Stands well on the lid for display, measures approx. 6.5 cms tall.
General wear and light surface scratches for age, and some 'teeth' nibbles to the end of the whistle, as you would expect to see.
Being original, a very tactile piece that would certainly display well and compliment any collection, be it vesta matchsafes or whistles!In good overall condition for age and usage.In 'used' and left in un-cleaned condition, (sorry about the light reflections in some of the pictures), please take a look at the pictures above and ask any more questions you may have, also take a look at my other vesta matchsafe listings, thank you. All of the above is my opinion. I am happy to combine postage where possible.
