Antique Sterling Silver Baccarat Dealer Card Case 165g

We would like to introduce you to an antique sterling silver card case.

This is called a baccarat dealer card case, and is used when playing the card game baccarat.
It was apparently used to store playing cards, bills, etc.

It is larger than a business card holder and can even fit Japanese bills if folded in half.
The lid has a pattern resembling sunlight and a separate gold-colored initial part as a unique accent.
The interior is beautifully gold plated and engraved with the Baccarat rules.
The part that holds the lid is missing, so the lid doesn't close properly.
It's perfectly usable if you just want to hold cards and bills.

We hope this lovely card case will add some color to your everyday life!
