Item Description
A wonderful piece of Scottish silver metal.
Two panels of repoussé silver, each with a character emerging from a wooded background. The side which forms the opening cover has the figure of a Scotsman wearing a kilt, carrying a shotgun and smoking a pipe, whilst the reverse shows a figure of olde, perhaps Sir William Wallace, again, emerging form a wooded landscape. To either side of the silver metal panels there is a block of steel, that to the right hand side is serrated, presumably for matches, the other, left hand side, is flat and sharp edged, again, presumed, for striking with a flint in order to make fire.
Probably dating from around 1850.
1 7/8 in (exc. suspension) x 1 3/4 in
