A Rare Edwardian Silver Vesta/cheroot Combi.

A delightful and unusual collector's piece. This is an Edwardian silver vesta, with a fitted telescopic cheroot holder. This larger than usual example is beautifull engraved with foliate detail and a cartouche containing the initials WSS. The cheroot holder is telescopic and folds down to fit inside the vesta.

The hallmarks are same date and maker, but the vesta was assayed in Birmingham and the cheroot holder in Chester. This was not unusual practice for these assay offices, as Chester silver was often sent to Birmingham during busy times. Rare and interesting to find still complete.

Condition :- Excellent, with no dents or splits. The amber mouthpiece for the cheroot holder has some age related nibbles to the edge.

Hallmarks :- Clear, readable and corresponding.

Maker :- Henry Williamson.

Width :- 4.5 cms.

Height :- 4.25 cms.
