Description
A rare and collectable novelty Edwardian silver Vesta case. This superb example is in the most unusual form of a mussel shell.

The striker is found to the side and there is an attaching ring for a fob chain or chatelaine. With the lid open the gilded interior is revealed and the vesta retains a strong hinge and pleasing 'snap' when closing. A fantastic example of a very collectable piece.
Hallmarks :- Clear and readable. Full marks to body, part marks to lid.
Maker :- Charles Lyster & Son.
Date :- Birmingham 1905.
