Early 20th Century Antique American Sterling Silver Cigarette Case/Playing Card Case, 85g

We are pleased to introduce an antique American cigarette case made of sterling silver.

This is a cigarette case of unknown manufacturer, but it appears to be made in the United States around the early 20th century.
Both sides are decorated with intricate floral and scroll patterns, and the surface is engraved with what appears to be the first owner's nickname.
Made of 950 silver, which has a higher silver purity than sterling silver (925).
Pressing the heart-shaped part on the side will allow the lid to open completely.
Because it's a thick case, it can hold business card-sized cards, so depending on the size, it might even fit playing cards.

I hope this "once-in-a-lifetime" encounter will become a special moment for you!
