<td width="100%">
Early 20th century vesta case. Sterling silver (.925). It carries hallmarks under the gilding on the inside of the lid lip, but they are tiny and very hard to decipher - I would think Austrian, or maybe Hungarian, and dating around 1910-1920. Weight is approx. 15 grams. No suspension loop, so made for a pocket. Lovely shape, fits the hand beautifully. Engine turned engraving to body, and good sprung catch to lid. This little vesta has some shallow finger dents to the sides, and a deeper dent to the top edge- probably able to be straightened, otherwise very good. Blank presentation panel. Measures 50 cm by 25 cm and 12.5 cm thick (2 inches by 1 inch and 1/2 inch thick).
