I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE RECENTLY, CROSSING THRU THREE STATES ON A MAJOR BUYING SPREE, HAVING COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF FANTASTIC VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE ITEMS.  THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):  SOLID GOLD JEWELRY; GOLD FILLED JEWELRY AND OTHER VICTORIAN AND ART DECO GOLD FILLED ITEMS; STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (& MORE); LOTS OF ANTIQUE "SMALLS" (THINGS THAT FIT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND); AND MORE(!), SO PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS I LIST THEM THIS WEEK.
THESE NEXT TWO LOTS BOTH HAVE VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE SILVER MATCH SAFES, WITH THIS FIRST LOT HAVING ONE FROM THE ART NOUVEAU PERIOD (MADE OF "GERMAN SILVER"
(WHICH IS THE SAME THING AS "NICKEL SILVER" (WHICH IS AN ALLOY OF NICKEL, COPPER AND ZINC... IT'S MADE TO LOOK LIKE, AND TO WEAR LIKE, STERLING SILVER, BUT IT HOLDS ZERO PRECIOUS (SILVER) METAL)))
; AND WITH THE SECOND LOT HAVING A SILVERPLATED MATCH SAFE (MONOGRAMMED) FROM THE VICTORIAN PERIOD.
THIS IS THE LOT WITH THE VICTORIAN ERA (I BELIEVE) MATCH SAFE.  IT DEFINITELY HAS A VICTORIAN LOOK (AND I BELIEVE AGE), BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE SEEN THIS MAKER (IT'S SIGNED "EMPIRE ART SILVER"), AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE AROUND (SO PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS).
IT IS ENGRAVED WITH THE INITIALS "A.E.B.", WHERE THE 'E' IS LARGER THAN THE OTHER TWO INITIALS, SO IT'S FOR THE INITIALS "A.B.E.".
THE CASE REALLY HAS THE PATINA OF A STERLING SILVER CASE, BUT IT'S MADE OF SILVER PLATE OVER WHAT I BELIEVE TO AN ALLOY LIKE "NICKEL SILVER" (WHICH HAS ZERO SILVER (SEE "
PINK
" ABOVE, FOR DEFINITION)).  THIS IS MY BEST GUESS ONLY, SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND (BUT IT'S AN INFORMED OPINION).
IT MEASURES APPROX. 2 3/8" TALL x 1 7/16" WIDE x 7/16" THICK (ALL MAX POINTS).  THE STICKER "STRIP" IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS IS THE HINGE (IT SLAMS SHUT (AND HOLDS) PROPERLY).  ALL IN ALL, THE CASE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 15.95 GRAMS.
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.75 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS
, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
