Unusual George Unite Solid Silver Cigarette Case Birmingham 1895

Unusual George Unite Solid Silver Cigarette Case Birmingham 1895

 

Up for sale is this unusual solid silver cigarette case made by the well known silversmith George Unite.

Fully hallmarked for Birmingham, with the letter "V" for the year 1895.

When I say "unusual" I mean that this case has some unusual grills inside the case for holding the cigarettes in place.

We couldn't find any other similar case like this one anywhere, so the craftsmanship is fantastic on it.

It is in very good condition with just a few small dings on corners but rather than that the case is fantastic.

 

Measuring about 8.5cm x 6.5cm x 1.5cm and weighs 108 grams.
