A very rare solid silver stamp case in the form of a purse. Circular in shape, in plain polished silver, this exquisite case has a clasp closure and is hinged. It is engraved 'stamps' to the face. When opened the silver gilt interior is revealed with a stamp compartment. Hallmarks are visible on both sides of the interior for the Birmingham Assay office with a date mark for 1906, Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver and the silvermaker's mark: Rotherham & Sons.
An exquisite item, very unusual and in super antique collector's condition. (There are some very fine surface scratches commensurate with age and mentioned only for complete accuracy).
A wonderful item for a collector!
