An Edwardian collector's item with a central monogram, a side ring for suspension, and elaborate engraved floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1052\" data-start=\"424\"\u003eManufactured by William M. Hayes, identified by the maker's mark \"W.H\" within an oval. It features the official Birmingham hallmarks: the city anchor, the lion for sterling silver, and the annual letter \"g\" corresponding to 1905. The side ring allowed the box to be suspended from a watch chain, chatelaine, or belt, a common practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to keep matches always accessible. Its refined engraving work reflects the quality of English silversmithing of the period and makes it an attractive piece for collectors of smoking accessories and antique silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eEra \/ Style: Edwardian\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eOrigin: Birmingham England\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eCirca: 1905\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eMaterials: Sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eStamps or Hallmarks: \"W.H\" \"Anchor\" \"Lion\" \"g\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eAcid test: Performed\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eMeasurements: 5.1 cm x 3.9 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eWeight: 27.20 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: These items are not new; they show signs of wear and may have scratches and imperfections typical of their age and use.
