Rare Edwardian Silver Tinderbox/Vesta

A fabulous quality and extremely sought after Edwardian silver tinderbox. This wonderful collectors piece has a beautifully crafted body with a piano hinge and aperture for the wick which would have been braided silk. The internal compartment is for cigarettes and to the top is a vesta compartment for matches with a striker at the top. To the front are twin engraved armorials. An extremely rare and interesting piece.
