Silver Cheroot Holder Case
This antique silver case is designed to hold a cheroot, a small cigar, and features a fob chain attachment loop. The case is intricately engraved with floral and scrolling patterns, typical of Victorian-era silverware. The hinged lid opens to reveal a hollow interior, perfectly sized for a cheroot, and the case’s construction suggests it was a fashionable accessory for gentlemen during the late 19th or early 20th century.
Condition and Collectibility
The silver case shows signs of age and use, with some surface wear and minor tarnishing consistent with its age. Despite this, the engraving remains remarkably detailed and the mechanism functions smoothly. This piece would appeal to collectors of antique silverware, fob chains, or smoking accessories, offering a glimpse into the social history of the period and a unique addition to any collection.
