Nice willis,cigarette case?

willis7 · Jul 24, 2014

im not sure, my guess was going to be change purse or compact, cigarette case is a possibility as well

Cool little treasure

Very nice high quality Russian enamel cloisonne silver cigarette case. The mark, though hard to see is a pre 1900's city mark for Moscow. It looks like it may be for the year 1896 give or take a few years on either side.

Where did you find a wife like that :laughing9:

I was tempted to buy a SS officers sterling silver cigarette case once.Marked with the officers unit,the deaths head and the officers name,quite a piece.If i remember right the asking price a few hundred.I would of been hurting for a few weeks regaining the cash so it was a no go.

I hear you. I bought those 2 Luft clasps that were mentioned on here last week. Luckily the wife doesn't handle the finances and what she doesn't know won't hurt her. :occasion14:
