Antique ART NOUVEAU STERLING SILVER Card Case Cigarette Case FRANK WHITING :
$175.00

I am pleased to be offering for sale this antique sterling silver hinged case by the Frank Whiting Company. As you can see, this is a very striking case, decorated in the Art Nouveau style. I am not certain if it was intended as a card case or a cigarette case when it was made; it measures approximately 3\" by 2 1/8.\" This is quite a sturdy piece, weighing in at 66.6 grams of sterling silver. In addition to bearing the Frank Whiting hallmark, this case is also marked with the number 83. I would say that this case is in very good antique condition, with minor surface scuffing, 2 tiny dents and a monogram on one side (CJW?) as well as a bit of tarnish. If you are a collector of sterling cases, don\'t let this Art Nouveau beauty pass you by. Also, if you are in the market for multiple antique sterling cases, please see my other sales, as I have several unique pieces to sell. Thanks for looking!
