Make It Shine Send us a message Our Store Seller Profile Feedback About us Contact Antique Solid Sterling Silver Vesta Case — 1919 Birmingham Hallmark Floral Pocket Match Safe Technical Specifications & Details Material Composition: Genuine Solid Sterling Silver (High-purity precious silver throughout; not silver plated, rolled, or bonded). Purity Certification: Guaranteed 92.5% pure sterling silver grade, fully authenticated by the iconic British "Lion Passant" hallmark stamp. Assay Office Location: Struck at the historic Birmingham Assay Office, verified by the official "Anchor" symbol mark. Historical Date Line: Fully hallmarked and dated to the year 1919. Decorative Surface Craft: Displays beautiful, classic hand-chased antique floral engravings covering the silver body casing. Pocket Profile Dimensions: Substantial layout scale measuring approximately 46mm by 47mm. Design Shape Architecture: Features a highly desirable, nearly square pocket profile that reads larger than standard Victorian vesta cases. Total Structural Weight: Heavy-gauge silver composition scaling at a substantial 24.1g approximate total weight. Overall Condition Profile: Pre-owned — Antique Vintage Condition (Beautifully preserved floral motif panels, responsive hinge mechanics, and honest historical character; please refer to photos for exact condition lines). How can I read the full authenticity marks on this antique piece? This case is punched with official statutory hallmarks. The "Lion Passant" guarantees the 92.5% solid sterling silver standard, the "Anchor" registers its assay origin in Birmingham, and the accompanying date letter symbol confirms its manufacture in 1919. These marks provide definitive, legally binding certification of its age, origin, and purity. Does the lid mechanism close securely? Yes, classic sterling silver vesta cases rely on a internal spring-loaded leaf hinge system. This piece has been inspected to ensure the lid snaps shut flush against the frame, keeping the pocket profile completely compact and structurally stable. How should I maintain and polish antique silver match safes? To maintain the rich contrast that accentuates the hand-chased floral lines, avoid harsh chemical dips that strip away character. Simply wipe the exterior smooth elements with a high-quality dry silver cloth to restore its brilliant luster while leaving the natural deep patina in the engraving recesses untouched.
