Tobacco box - .925 silver - Sterling Silver. 62.9 g

An elegant Edwardian solid sterling silver Tobacco Case (Tabatière), hallmarks for Birmingham, 1912. This piece is a fine example of early 20th-century British silverware, combining functionality with the understated luxury of the era. ​Features: ​Design: A sleek, pocket-sized rectangular form with a gentle curve, designed to fit comfortably in a coat pocket. ​Hallmarks: Clear British hallmarks: Anchor (Birmingham), Lion Passant (Sterling .925), and the date letter "n" for 1912. Includes maker's mark. ​Mechanism: The spring-loaded push-button is fully functional, ensuring the case stays tightly shut. ​Dimensions: 8 cm x 6 cm x 1.5 cm. ​Weight: 63 grams of solid sterling silver. ​Condition: Presented in honest antique condition.
