Antique Silver Pin Cushion - Naval Cap

This is a wonderful example of an antique solid silver novelty pin cushion, this one styled as a Naval Captain's cap. It is clearly hallmarked on the side for Chester 1908 with the maker's mark of S Blanckensee & Son Ltd. It is large and tactile. The cushion on the bottom is original and has faded from its blue/purple colour and the silk lining on the top is also worn, with a few pin holes. It is a fabulous piece. The pound coin is for size reference. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
