Antique Silver Novelty Table Lighter - Canoe

This is quite a rarity - an antique solid sterling silver table lighter, fashioned as a canoe and dating from the very end of the reign of Queen Victoria. It is clearly hallmarked for London 1899 with the maker's mark of Stokes & Ireland Ltd. It is heavy and tactile, and is a fabulous condition. The open top, usually for rowers, is presumably an ashtray. Interesting. Dimensions: Length: 13cm Width: 3cm Height: 5.5cm Weight: 82g. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
