Here are three superb solid silver snuff boxes I will start with the solid silver and guilloche enamel round hinged snuff box/pill box, it is hallmarked for Birmingham 1910 with the makers mark for Henry Matthews. It measures approx 3cm/30mm diameter and 2.1cm/21mm high. I don't know how well you can see from the pictures but it is gilt lined (although not as thickly as the double box). It is in very good condition for its age there are a couple of pin sized dings (it appears as if made from the inside) on the side and a very slight indentation on the bottom. The guilloche enamel is in very good condition also for its age with all of it intact. On part of the white bit it may have been rubbed slightly but it just looks as if its a little grubby (please see pics). The next is a solid silver embossed double box which is gilt lined, this is in very good condition also, with no dents or dings. It measures approx 5cm/50mm x 2.5cm/25mm x 1.2cm/12mm. This is hallmarked on the inside base 925 there is also another mark but I can't quite make it out. The third is a round solid silver snuff/pill box, this is hallmarked for Birmingham 1921 with the makers mark for C Griffiths & Co. It measures approx 3cm/30mm base diameter and 1.6cm/16mm high. This is also gilt lined - again quite faintly. It does have a few small dings to the silver however read more
