Re: Chinese Silver Import Cigarette Case

Your cases are somewhat like the one I posted on the 16th. I found the hallmark on the inside on part of the clasp. I would think that if there is no hallmark they must be older. Yours are much more intracate then mine but mine has some history. Hopefully we will learn more.

Re: Chinese Silver Import Cigarette Case

Are you certain it's actaully silver? Chinese silver for export was generally marked from the late 1700's onward.
