VINTAGE CONTINENTAL SILVER CIGARETTE OR CARD CASE - STUNNING DECORATION 5.21 ozt VINTAGE CONTINENTAL SILVER CIGARETTE OR CARD CASE - STUNNING DECORATION 5.21 ozt This is a particularly attractive looking 900 grade silver cigarette or card case as pictured. The previous owners family have always believed it to be Indian in origin but equally it could possibly be Middle Eastern?The case has a really fa...bulous exterior decoration to both the front and rear covers as you can see and the lid hinge is sprung so that it always snaps shut after being pulled apart and opened.There is an impressed assay mark inside the case which I have pictured close-up. The previous owners family explained that their relative had the case tested as 900 silver by someone that they met at an Antiques fair a few years ago however they could not identify the origin of this mark.There are no elastic retainers inside the case but the connection lugs are still in place so replacements could be sourced and fitted if required.The case measures approximately 11cm by 8cm and it is about 8mm deep (measured across the top edge). It weighs 5.21 troy ounces or 148.2 grams.There are a few signs of age and use as you might expect but nothing really nasty or serious. There are the typical light, faint scratches around the bodywork that all silver objects tend to attract over the years but no serious dents or dings anywhere as far as I can tell. The inner gilt wash has faded but is still apparent (see photo).A sustained polish will no doubt further restore former glory. This super looking, weighty and very eye-catching Continental silver case is being offered here in a used vintage condition, exactly as pictured and with no reserve. Sorry but there is no Buy It Now price available.I often get asked if modern king size cigarettes fit these old cases and the answer is no - they are too big. These days the cases are more often used for keeping hand rolled cigarettes, or "roll-ups" and they are also used by people for carrying business cards, tablets, condoms etc. Credit cards WILL also fit into a case this size.Items are always shipped via Royal Mail using a tracked and / or signed for service so do please check the costs of this to your location on the postage tab before bidding.
