1897 British Antique Sterling Silver Sliding Card Case, 84g, HW King & Son

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

Made by HW King & Son, Birmingham, England, 1897.
Both sides are decorated with a pattern of plant leaves.
This card case has an unusual gimmick: when you slide the center part on the back, the cards inside come out one by one.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problems and can hold more than 15 business cards.

I hope this "once in a lifetime" encounter will be a special one!
