Description

A very rare, superb heavy gauge solid silver Vesta case, very unusual as it includes an integral cigar cutter. This Vesta case is handsomely designed and both the front and back are decorated with columns of stripes and there is an empty cartouch in circular form in the very centre. The left hand corner has the integral Cigar Cutter, this pushes in an out and works well. The lid is hinged to one side and there is a loop at the side for attachment.

Hallmarks are clearly visible for the Birmingham Assay office with a date mark for 1911 and maker's marks for Henry Williamson Ltd . The lion passant is also visible indicating the finest sterling silver.
