Lot Description

Edwardian silver vesta case, bright cut engraved all over with scrolling foliage and with an applied 9 ct gold plaque to the front, hallmarked Constantine & Floyd Ltd., Birmingham 1902;  together with two larger examples, both with scrolled foliate decoration, one hallmarked Thomas & Marshall Birmingham 1903 and the other C T Burrows & Sons Birmingham 1911. Gross combined weight 72.2 grams.

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All three cases display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use.  They all have some tarnishing, especially the two larger examples.  There is some loss of detail to the decoration on each and especially more wear around the edges and corners.  There are also various nicks and dints in the metal.  The largest example is quite dented to the centre on both the front and reverse and there is a large hole in the metal to one corner of the base.  The hinged covers on each are in working order.  Hallmarks on each are slightly rubbed but still legible.
