English Victorian "IN ME A MATCH YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND" vesta case pendant
Collectable and lovely English Victorian vesta case in sterling silver (silver gilt inside the case) and decorated with hand painted enamel. The front of case inscribed on the diagonal with the word/picture rebus "In Me A [Match] You'll Always Find”. This vesta case bears full hallmarks: essayed in Birmingham 1886, made by Deakin & Francis. Please note, there are obvious traces of use inside the case, there are also some light scratches to the case and minor loss to the enamel. This is a heavy and well-made example of enamelled vesta case.
