On the very bottom it is marked with a Crown and the words "Albert Barker 5 New Bond St London W." When I looked up for some information it said that the Co. was established in 1886. He was a specialist in Gold and Silversmithing. This is not stamped sterling, however I believe it to be silver plated. Also the inside interior has a gold wash to it. Also the screw off cap under the lid appears to be Gold Plated! The screw off cap is in mint condition, there again believed to be Gold Plated. There is a beautiful ribbed engraving that goes around the inside cap. The rest of the inside is in excellent condition. There is one very small spot that looks like a liquor stain on the very interior of the bottom. The shot glasses are in excellent condition also! It is 3 1/4" tall and 1 7/8" wide. All pieces fit inside the container beautifully! What a find! This is a
