Antique Victorian Card Case Holder Purse Sterling 925 England Monogrammed 84 Gr.

Description

Designer:  Unknown, hallmark is damaged from time and use.
Notes:    Beautiful, antique Victorian sterling silver card case holder with chain and monogram.  This fabulous piece has a British hallmark of a lion for sterling silver, but I'm unable to make out the maker mark with certainty.  The monogram is (I think) PMJ or L and is beautifully engraved - a work of art in itself.  There is a tiny blue cabochon on lid above hinge - most likely synthetic sapphire. Please look at photos for design and condition - it was well loved and could use refinishing.
Measurements:   Case measures approx. 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" and the opening is approx. 3/16" wide.  The chain is approx. 15".
Marks:   Lion for sterling silver, Sterling, 1076.  Two other marks I can't make out.
Condition:      This piece is in good antique pre-owned condition with tarnish, metal scratches and tiny dings from age and normal use.    Everything is intact and hinge has only a slight wiggle and top closes and stays.  Please see photos for design and condition.  I have left in as-found condition for buyer to polish as desired.
Please note that we charge sales tax on the full amount for items sold in North Carolina.
