A very pretty novelty stamp box of unusual shape made from Silver & fully hallmarked.Made in Birmingham by Lawrence Emanuel in 1900.

Standing on pretty scrolled feet the box has a sprung hinged lid & a gilt interior.The box measures 3.5cms in total height by 3.5cms wide.
The lid is set with a perspex insert - this is a little scratched & discoloured but could be easily replaced. The hin...ge is over springy & as a result the lid will not stay closed & would need adjusting? The box wobbles on its feet so is slightly uneven. There is also a small break in one of the scrolls which would need attention.There is a slight knock to one corner of the lid.
All of the above mentioned points are backed up with close up photos.Please study all 12 photos well & zoom in as these give you a full picture of condition and form an important part of this listings description.
This is a very pretty Stamp box carrying the quality name of Asprey being offered with no reserve.
