Very RARE Victorian NOVELTY Silver SALMON Vesta, William Oliver, Birmingham 1892

  

Very RARE Victorian NOVELTY Silver SALMON Vesta, William Oliver, Birmingham 1892. By all accounts this is one of the rarest novelty silver vestas of the Victorian era. The form is relatively simple - a Salmon head with a ring attachment at the mouth and a strike on the hinged cover at the opposing head.

The body in between is realistically tooled. It remains in all round superb condition - perfect for the serious collect who has them all!
