Victorian Silver Japanese Crane Fan Bird Flower Butterfly Design Card Case

  

A VICTORIAN HALLMARKED SOLID STERLING SILVER CARD CASE. IT WAS ONCE FULLY HALLMARKED BUT ONLY THE LEFT FACING VICTORIAS HEAD AND THE LION MARK FOR STERLING SILVER ARE FULLY VISIBLE.

THERE IS WHAT IS POSSIBLY THE TOP OF AN ANCHOR FOR BIRMINGHAM BUT I CANNOT MAKE OUT THE DATE LETTER. IT MAY BE A'B'?

THE CASE HAS A VERY ORNATE JAPANESE FAN STYLE DESIGN FEATURING A CRANE, A BUTTERFLY AND OTHER BIRDS, FLOWERS AND A SMALL BOAT ON THE WATER. IT IS VERY DETAILED PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. THE CASE IS QUITE HEAVY AND SOLID AND THE CLASP IS STRONG. THERE ARE SOME VERY SMALL DENTS, NOT REALLY WORTH MENTIONING AND SOME VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES BUT NO SPLITS OR PIN HOLES. IT MEASURES 3 7/8 INCH HIGH BY 2 ¾ INCH WIDE AND 3/8 INCH DEEP. THE CASE WEIGHS 92.1g OR ALMOST 3 TROY OUNCES. We will be happy to answer all questions.
