Antique Sterling Silver Purse Box Case Coin Purse


I buy a lot of silver but it's rare to find a piece of this age with the interior in this good of shape.  Antique Sterling Silver mini-purse on chain by Mauser of New York.  Purse has a nice Art Nouveau floral design and a great red leather interior.  The piece is very well marked as you can see.  This is an early mark for Mauser which was in business from 1887 to 1903. A beautiful piece in great shape.

Gold standards in most countries are 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k. These are averages and while a piece may be marked 14k please be aware that the gold content itself could have a variance of up to 1.5k. This means something marked 14k could be in a range from 12.5k to 15.5k.  This is especially true of vintage pieces as technology wasn?t as precise.  With gemstones, we guarantee everything described as a diamond has been tested.  With colored gemstones however, particularly when small secondary stones, we make our best efforts to be accurate in the description but there could be some variance as to what the stone is.  Colored stones of nominal value and semi-precious stones can?t be accurately tested unless sent to an organization such as GIA.  If you have any concerns about colored stones in a specific piece, please contact us before bidding.
