Sampson Mordan Silver Cigarette Case with Golfer

A great gift for a golfer, this silver case is by the renowned silversmith Sampson Mordan. Hallmarked for 1907, it is over 100 years old and a true antique. Originally designed as a cigarette case, this piece is slightly too small on the internal dimensions to take a credit card, but is relatively deep having been designed to take cigarettes on both sides, and will take a smaller size business card, or perhaps blister packs of tablets. - Hallmarked for London 1907. - Almost square shape, and relatively deep inside. - Image of golfer in relief on the front. - Gilded interior. - Flexible wire banding inside, to retain the contents. - Solid, weight piece at 120 g. The piece is in good condition with only age related signs of wear. There are no significant dents and it is a solid piece. There are areas above the golfer which would originally have depicted birds, but these have been polished out to some extent. The flexible banding is in good condition.
