Lot Description

Two early twentieth century silver cigarette cases, one of large rectangular form with floral and scroll engraving surrounding a initialled cartouche, the smaller example of curved oblong form with engine-turned decoration and vacant circular cartouche, each opening to reveal a silver-gilt interior, both hallmarked Birmingham 1919, maker's marks for William Henry Sparrow and Hasset & Harper Ltd. Gross weight 12.65 ozt (393.5 grams). (2).

In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The larger example does not shut fully flush, visible gap between the silver pieces along the clasp side and the case appears slightly dented inwards either side, the cartouche is engraved with 'WPM'. The smaller example has some loss of definition to the engine-turned decoration, minor dents and scratches to the case, pin slightly exposed at either end of the hinge. Some hallmarks rubbed but still legible.
