QUEEN VICTORIA IN HEART CARTOUCHE MATCH HOLDER VESTA CASE MATCH SAFE STRIKER
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4405396 | Modified Item: No |
| Type: Vestas |
Welcome to my auctions, and please remember to check out my ebay store / shop.
This auction is for an original late Victorian nickel silver made to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. Has beautiful repousse foliate decoration surrounding the outside with a heart shape and raised image of Queen Victoria to the front and a plain heart shaped cartouche to the back.
The striker is at the bottom as in the fourth picture above. T...he lid opens and closes back shut with a good snap shut, and on the outside on each side is a registration number, I believe it reads ' rd. 274173'.
Also inside on the bezel it reads 'RISING'S PATENT STRIKER'.
Measures approx. 5 cms x just 4 cms with rounded corners.
In very good overall condition with minimal wear, and tactile to hold.
Would display well, a lovely example for the 'Royal' collector, and not one that comes up for auction that often, especially in this nice condition.
An original piece, left in 'used' and un-cleaned condition, and would certainly compliment and display well in any match box or vesta matchsafe collection. 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.
UK postage is £4.50, second class signed for post, with an option for next day special delivery if required. Packed very well to ensure safe delivery. There is possibly cheaper post on ebay, and unfortunately items can go missing if there is not a signature required, thank you for your understanding. For overseas transactions ‘International Track & Signed For’ or 'International Tracked' delivery will be used, depending on the destination country.
Paypal preferred for payment, but if you wish to pay by cheque please email before bidding. I would need to wait for cheque to clear before posting out. If you have a query regarding forms of payment, please contact me. Any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to answer as best I can, and if you require additional photographs please ask.
