antique silver cigarette case
Offered for sale is an item from a family collection. It has been in the family well over 50 years and locked away. I have many pictures and have not found another quite like it after many hours of research. The clasp and hing work well. The piece has very nice workmanship on it. There are some scratches and scuffs here and there, to be expected for a used very old item. The interior appears to have a gold ...colored gilt to it. I tested the case for silver and I get a very strong 925 sterling reading from an acid test. I do get a small magnetic positive close the the clasp, but not around the hing. It is negative everywhere else. The picture is very clean and well done. There is some writing within a piece of paper on a table , it appears, maybe, Russian. I took some close up pictures of several hallmarks on the interior of the case. They are very small and worn. To the best of my ability I read a B and S/ or backwards two. Between the B and S there is a small mark and there appears to be a flower on the other mark. These marks are very small. The case measures 4 1/2 " x 3" . It weighs 216 gr total weight.I have told all I know. I am not guaranteeing this item to be any notable silver worker as I am not sure from lack of proof. I can be sure there is silver in the item and it is truly a well constructed fine piece of art. I have described it the best I can as a layperson.I only ship to the USA and will send the item with appropriate insurance and secure packaging. PayPal only please.If you wish more pictures or have questions or comment please let me know via email. THANKS FOR LOOKING...
Shipped with USPS First Class Package.
