Antique Silver Stamp Case

1900 - 1920
Description

A good example of a solid silver book form stamp case. It has a swivel hinge which allows the interior to swing out to access the stamps. It is a good quality piece and the interior has its original gilt lining. The outer case is engraved with enamelled ' Stamps'. There is a small loop on the side for attaching to a fob chain or chatelaine.

It is hallmarked for Birmingham, 1901 and the maker Crisford & Norris.

It is in very good condition for its age. There are some minor surface marks and general signs of age and use but no major damages and it displays well. The swivel hinge is strong and easy to use. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Antique silver stamp cases were portable containers introduced in the late Victorian period to protect gummed postage stamps from moisture and damage inside pockets, purses, or attached to chatelaines.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or nickel silver, often decorated with hand engraving, engine turning, enamelling, or relief lettering.

Authentic pieces typically feature official silver hallmarks or purity stamps, period-correct construction hinges, precise latches, and light age-related patination.

Small silver stamp cases are frequently repurposed as charms or pendants on silver chains, displayed inside glass collectors cases, or styled on traditional writing desks.

Gently wipe the surface with a dry, soft silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding liquid chemical dips that may strip aged patination from recessed engraving.
