WEIGHT:
55.6 grams

SIZE / MEASUREMENTS:
2 5/8 inches long x 2 1/4 inches wide x 1/2 inch deep.

MARKINGS / HALLMARKS:
Stamped 'STERLING' on the inside.

MATERIALS:
Sterling silver

CONDITION:
Very nice antique condition with only the light surface burnish on the metal expected in a piece of this age. The spring hinge that once would pop the top up when the button is pushed is still there, but no longer has it's springy-ness, so the lid has to be manually raised. The lid has a minor 'warp' in it, leaving one edge raised just a wee bit, and the inside bottom has the discolored residue of the original lacquer...see pics.

I clean vintage pieces by gently washing with dish soap (vintage patina is good, vintage dirt and germs are bad…yuck!) Then I will often give a quick surface buff with a silver cleaning cloth to bring up the contrast, leaving the natural patina of age in the details to enhance its beauty.

GIFT BOX INCLUDED, ready to give or just to enjoy!
