This is a lovely ornate repousse sterling silver thimble case or pillbox. This particular piece was designed by the artist George W Shiebler at Tiffany and Co, N.Y. 1880 - 1910. This box could hold thimbles, rings, or other small jewelry, pills, etc. It is in excellent antique condition with no dents, dings, or repairs. There are four markings on the bottom: “STERLING”, “TIFFANY AND CO.”, George Schiebler’s mark and number “3152”. The c...ylindrical box measures 1 1/2” tall x 1 1/8”, weighs 26 grams and has a monogram on the top of “KBB”.
This piece is part of my father’s estate and has been in the family for many years. I am a private party, not a business, and I have tried to describe this item as accurately as possible.
