1897 British antique sterling silver double door card case, mirror finish, coat of arms engraved, 107g
SKU: 202505105355
We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver card case.
This card case was made in 1898 and although the engraving is unclear, it is probably the work of "Joseph Gloster."
It has a mirror finish with no engravings, and one side is engraved with a monogram that appears to be the initials of the first owner, and the other side is engraved with the coat of arms of the Scottish Buchanan clan and the motto "Clarior Hinc Honos (From here on, honor shines brighter)."
It is a double-sided type with a leather-lined pocket inside.
It won't fit a regular business card, but credit card size cards will fit in the inner pocket.
I hope this "once in a lifetime" encounter will be a special one!
