1926 Sterling Silver Matchbook Case, Matchbook Holder

Here we have a lovely Vintage Solid Silver Matchbook Case from the 1920s. It comes in a gift bag and would be a great present.

It's made of Sterling Silver and the exterior has a pretty engineered pattern. In the top left corner of the lid has a blank rectangular cartouche. The hinge and clasp work well and the lid lifts to show a lovely gilded interior.

It was made by William Neale & Son and it was Hallmarked in Birmingham in 1926. The makers mark and Hallmarks are on the inside of the case.

Condition

The Silver is shiny with a bit of tarnish and scratches. There are a few small dents to the case.

Size

It weighs 32.5g. It measures 5.9cm by 4.5cm (just over 2 1/4 inches by 1 3/4 inches) with a  depth of approx 0.7cm (1/4 inch), and it would fit matchbooks just under this size.
