Description: A charming antique silver-cased cheroot holder dating to the early 20th century. The silver case is hallmarked for Birmingham, 1919, and retains its original hinged cap. Inside is the removable cheroot holder, fitted with a gilt collar marked “18 R.G.P.” (rolled gold plate), giving a pleasing contrast to the silver exterior.
This is a classic Edwardian accessory, both practical and decorative, and would make a fine addition to a collection of antique smoking accessories or silver novelties.
