Description from the seller

Vesta British silver-case probably European equipped with integrated metal cigar cutter, typical of English production from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

The case bears hallmarks that have been worn from use, which is common in small pieces from this era.
Piece tested on a touchstone

The cutter is made of plated metal, as was customary, since silver is too soft for cutting mechanisms. The mechanism remains in motion and fits.

The piece retains the hinged lid, the original side ring, and the characteristic cylindrical shape. An elegant and functional tobacco accessory, highly sought after by collectors.

Condition:
Good overall condition for its age. Signs of use, scratches and wear on the hallmarks. Cutter mechanism functional. No relevant dents.

Dimensions:
70 X 20 mm

Weight:
22.44 g

Shipping:
Carefully packed and sent by registered mail with tracking number.
