Description

This is an Edwardian Arts & Crafts oak cigar box with hallmarked sterling silver mounts. The mounts were assayed in Birmingham in 1906 and made by Boots Pure Drug Company (Boots the Chemist).

It has the word 'Cigars' in silver on the lid, though the section with the I and part of the G is missing. It has silver mounts to the four corners of the lid, though two corners have pins missing. These would be easy to replace. The interior is lined with cedar wood, with two adjustable spacers. There are some small dents and surface marks to the silver.
