Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1870s.
The hinge is in perfect working order and when opened reveals the hallmark for Birmingham 1870 together with the highly prized Queen Victoria's head duty mark. The makers initials are slightly rubbed from the opening and closing of the case but I believe it to be HM for the renowned silversmith, Henry Matthews.
Excellent condition, measuring 3 7/8" x 2 7/8". Weight: 1.80 Troy Ounces / 55.9 Grams.
Item ID: 33113
