Description from the seller
Miniature of a historic tram in 833 fine silver – Netherlands, ca. 1950–1975
Elegant miniature of an early 20th-century electric tram, handcrafted in silver of 833 thousandths.
The piece faithfully reproduces the old European open-platform trams and stands out for its excellent level of detail: driver, bell, handrails, windows, curved roof and wheels crafted individually. It is a miniature built by manual assembly of multiple elements, following the renowned Dutch jewelry-making tradition.
It presents the Dutch official contrast in the form of a sword (Sword Mark), used to certify 833/1000 silver, which allows its manufacture to be placed in the Netherlands during the second half of the 20th century.
It is an attractive collectible for both European silver enthusiasts and collectors of miniatures and transport history.
Features:
• Country: Netherlands
• Era: ca. 1950–1975
• Material: Silver 833
• Contrast: Dutch official mark “Sword Mark”
• Length: 7 cm
• Width: 2.5 cm
• Height: 3.5 cm
• Weight: 48 g
Condition:
Good overall condition, with slight patina and small signs of use consistent with its age. It retains all decorative elements, including the driver figure and the bell. The photographs are part of the lot description.
