The Silver Squirrel has dated this piece to the 1900s.
I would date it to c1900. It has been superbly made being of oval form and with a musical instruments. It is in super condition being free from dings splits holes and repairs, the inside is clean and gilded and the lid closes tightly. It measures approx. 2.5 inches (6cm) across by over 1.5 inches (4.2cm) wide by 0.75 inch (1.98cm) tall and weighs 36 grams. A very pretty piece.
