Up for bid is a vintage sterling canister box set with a French silver coin, made by Becht & Hartl of Newark, NJ for Cartier. The piece is 3 5/8 inches tall by 2 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs 131 grams.  The slide-on lid is set with a French 1841 5 Francs coin.  The lid has a knurled edge.  The base is plain, with a flat foot.  It has not been monogrammed.  It is marked “CARTIER / STERLING / 654” with the (BH) trademark of Becht & Hartl.

Condition on the box is good.  There is a shallow dent in the foot, but otherwise just normal light wear.  A nice piece!
