Rare Sterling Silver Combination Vesta Cheroot Cutter London 1855 by Charles Rawlings & William Summers. Of rounded rectangular shape with two lidded compartments, one for matches and the other with cutter and hole for inserting cheroot end. Both compartments have gilt interiors. There's a striker to one side and a worn family crest with monogram to front which could be polished out but I prefer to leave as part of it's history.
