Antique Silver Novelty Pill Box - Snipe

This is a beautiful antique sterling silver pill box, fashioned as a wading bird. He carries import marks for Chester 1902, with the importer's stamp for Berthold Muller. The head pulls off to reveal a partial hallmark. As befits a piece of this quality, the hallmarks are hidden away, underneath the neck. He stands proudly and the detailing of the body is fantastic. The silver is in excellent condition. I am no bird expert and have described it as a snipe. I think the neck is too thin for a woodcock and the legs not long enough for a curlew, but I am happy to be corrected! Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
