Date English antique Georgian solid sterling silver with English silver hallmarks for Birmingham 1818 (date letter "u"). Good matching silver marks on the box and lid including the silver duty stamp of King George the Third and the silversmiths initials are "I S", (John Shaw - 1803 - 1825).

Condition Lovely condition with no splits or repairs, definitely no wear/polish holes and no nasty knocks or dents, just a few very minor little pin-head surface bruises, really nothing much at all and a beautiful antique example and a genuine 206 years old. Really nice design and the recessed silver lid hinge still works perfectly and opens and close tightly and securely. Inside the original interior gilding is virtually undamaged and there are no added personal engravings. Superb Georgian silver snuff box.
