Sterling Silver Collapsible Beaker With Original Case - Chester, 1914. Boxes

Sterling Silver Collapsible Beaker With Original Case - Chester, 1914. BoxesA delightful sterling silver collapsible beaker with its original leather case. Hallmarked Chester, 1914. Maker's mark rubbed, only '& Co' legible. Beakers such as this were usually silver plated; a sterling silver example is considerably more scarce. The leather case bears the initials 'J. O. S' with the same initials and the date of Christmas Day 1915 naively yet neatly engraved to the top ring of the beaker. A really lovely thing. Dimensions

There is a small dink to the lid of the screw top (please see photographs)
