A stunning cigarette box made by Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company, London, 1930. It incorporates a Victorian or Edwardian silver dress pouch with the Prince of Wales feathers over a George V cypher, I believe its for the Welsh dragoons (any feedback appreciated). It also has the dress pouch brackets mounted to the sides of the cigarette case.
Inside, it is inscribed 'Tom from Mother, Xmas... 1930' so probably commissioned by the mother to either the father or son as an Xmas present
It is in excellent condition with minimal age related wear that does not detract from its overall presentation or use, there are a couple of tiny dents (the silver is a very thick guage therefore survived well) and light tarnishing in places. The cedar lining includes original partition and has a couple of light marks.
It is fully hallmarked and also stamped to base with makers name and address
It measures approx 18cm wide by 9cm deep and 7.5cm high. It's weight is 795 grammes
