1900 - 1920
Description

An antique Edwardian Silver Gilt Circular Flat PEBBLE shaped SQUEEZE ACTION TOBACCO BOX.

Hallmarked for SHEFFIELD 1907 by renowned makers MAPPIN & WEBB.

With flush invisible hinge and plain body. No initials or engraving, completely clean.

The interior has a gilt wash and the full set of hallmarks are on the underside.

Measuring 7.5 cm diameter x 1.5 cm high and weighs a healthy 82.4 grams.

In very good antique condition, the hallmarks are good, hinge working well , there is surface wear and small dings/dents to the side where you squeeze to open the box (but nothing major), gilding is still bright. It takes a good squeeze to open the box due to the heavy gauge of silver used. Usual signs of wear commensurate of age and use.

FAQs

Popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a squeeze tobacco box is a portable sterling silver container designed with a flexible rim mechanism that opens when the sides are pressed tightly.

These items were typically crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, using sprung metal rims and hand-fitted lids to maintain an airtight seal for tobacco moisture retention.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarksincluding a makers mark, town mark, date letter, and lion passantstamped into the interior lid or outer body.

An antique silver box can be displayed on an office desk, styled atop a stack of coffee table books, or placed inside a glass display cabinet alongside other silver collectables.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could wear down delicate hallmarks or spring mechanisms.
