1891-1901 Solid Silver Hallmarked Chain Mail Miser's Purse with Import Marks from the Former Austro-hungarian Empire.

19th century
Description

Austrian-Hungarian hallmarked solid silver chain mail miser's purse from the former confederation of Austria-Hungary, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which only existed for 51 years, from 1867-1918, when it was dissolved following military defeat in WWI.

The import hallmarks accurately date this to the ten year period 1891-1901.

The push button clasp on the curved and engraved frame, also having a hanging loop, opens fully, and has the chain mail attached to it securely.

This is in very good condition, a beautiful shape, and is quite a collectable and attractive solid silver item.

Size-4.5 inches by 2.5 inches.

Great for the collector of novelty silver, purses, and Austro-Hungarian memorabilia.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
