Description: An interesting antique silver and enamel vesta case, with a black and yellow enamel maritime flag, engraved SALLY 1907, we assume Sally was a yacht. The back is engraved "Presented by Dr. Lauder to W.H.J. Hirst", the engaving is well done and still very clearly legible, with no wear. The vesta is the traditional rectangular shape, with striker on the base, and has a suspension ring for attachment to a fob chain. The interior still has some gilding visible, and the hinged lid works perfectly. The vesta is clearly hallmarked for Robert Chandler, Birmingham 1906, the lid is also clearly hallmarked. Robert Chandler (1902-1924) appears to have specialised in silver enamel vesta cases.
