This is a sterling silver vesta (match safe), which is hallmarked Birmingham 1894. Engraving shows that it was later given as a golf award by the Douglas Golf Club in 1922. Excellent condition with normal signs of wear. Tight hinge and closes well. 1" x 1 1/2". Recently there have been fake vestas proliferating the market, but this is an exceptional original.
