Exceptional Antique Engraved Sterling Silver Pill Box * Continental * C1900s

Description

Exceptional Antique Sterling Silver Pill Box
Continental * Circa 1900s
This little silver pill box is of
exceptional quality. The top has a hand engraved vase spilling over
with flowers and scrolling leaves. The top slides back and the interior
is all gilded. There is a round hole in the corner to dispense a small
pill, or larger pills can be accessed by sliding the top further back.
It is marked “925” for sterling silver and it has a tiny ship’s wheel
maker’s mark.
The condition
is excellent with no dents or other damage and it closes very securely when the top slides closed. It
measures slightly over 1 3/4″ x 1 3/8″ and is incredibly heavy for its size, 35.9 grams.
I stand behind
everything that I offer and
guarantee
that it is exactly as
presented.
