Early 20th Century Antique American Sterling Silver Cigarette Case/Playing Card Case, 85g

We are pleased to present an antique American sterling silver cigarette case.

The manufacturer is unknown, but this cigarette case is thought to have been made in America around the early 20th century.
Both sides are intricately decorated with floral and scroll patterns, and the surface is engraved with what appears to be the nickname of the first owner.
It is made of 950 silver, which has a higher purity than sterling silver (925).
Press the heart-shaped part on the side to open the lid completely.
The thick case can hold business card-sized cards, so depending on the size, it may even fit playing cards.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
