Sterling silver

A lovely sterling silver cigarette/ cheroot or tobacco case made in Birmingham in 1913. In good aged condition...measures 8.5 cms x 6.5 cms approximately.

This is an Edwardian fob chain, which was used to hold a pocket watch or vesta (match safe). It is hallmarked J.S. (maker), star (not sure if this is some city mark, not known to me), lion (for sterling) and small c. My guess it is made in Birmingham and so would date to 1903. Every link in the chain is stampled with a lion. The length of the chain is 34 cms. I do not think the clasp is solid silver, but I am not sure.

A lovely Victorian (made Birmingham 1894) sterling silver napkin ring with decoration and patterned edging. This is a lovely sturdy napkin ring with good weight.

This is a stunning guilloche enamelled sterling silver top dressig table jar with carved crystal bowl. The jar stands about 6.5 cms high with a diameter of about 9 cms. In excellent aged condition, with no chips on the crystal bowl. the jar is made by Asprey and Son and is hallmarked to Birmingham 1950.

A lovely HMSS (Hallmarked Sterling Silver) cigarette case, both sides hallmarked S SILVER APEX. The springs are in good condition and are marked REGAL. The case is generally in very good aged condition, although tehre are a couple of small dints on the front. The cigarette case is not dated but looks to be of Art Deco vintage, c1930. The dimensions of the cigarette case are approximately 8.5 x 8 x 1.5 cms. Note this is a rather thick case in which you can store cigarettes (or business cards) on both sides. The case weighs about 90 gms, which is just over 3 oz.
