Diam. 128 mo. THIN. Cum Privilegio.The book has \'ivorine\' covers back and front. They each have
two corners mounted in 9 ct gold.
They are fully hallmarked with the makers mark \'CPB\', then a
number \'9\', then \'.375\' for 9 ct gold, the anchor for Birmingham,
and the date letter \'d\' which represents, I believe, 1903.Measures approximately 5.8 cms by 4.6 cms.Please view the pictures to appreciate this little gem. It is in
superb condition. The only issues to mention are some very
minor surface marks, and one retaining pin from a corner is
absent. Otherwise, appears to have had very little handling
over it\'s 110 years. Most unusual to see a gold mounted example.I have lots of items in my shop; all silver bar this!, but please
take a look
