This is rather a charming and uncommon find.
Assayed in Holland during 1906, this is a solid silver model of the Erasmus statue.
Desiderius Erasmus was a Catholic theologian who was born in Rotterdam during 1466. This is a silver model of the oldest bronze statue in the Netherlands, sculpted by Hendrick de Keyser in 1622. The original is located in front of Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk (a medieval Protestant church in Rotterdam) and it depicts Erasmus standing in flowing clerical garb reading a large book.
I have pictured all the assay marks close-up for you.
Standing just less than 3\" tall on a 2.25\" square silver base, the model weighs 95.2 grams which equates to 3.35 imp.oz or 3.06 troy oz.
The model has typical light / faint surface scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and use but there is nothing really nasty or serious to report as you can see. There are no particular dents, dings or misshapes to highlight as far as I can tell.
A good polish will be required to fully restore former glory, some areas (particularly behind the silver railings) are quite hard to reach so a cotton bud might be the best option.
This charming little solid silver model is offered for sale here in a used antique condition, exactly as pictured and with . Sorry but there is no Buy It Now price available.
