French Antique Silver P FEATHER Match Box Sleeve BOOK Vesta Case Safe Tobacciana

Description

I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
Interesting little antique silver plated vesta match sleeve in the shape of a book with a feather on the cover and French text on the spine.  The other side has the striking flint / sand paper for striking a match.  Inside is a cardboard box that slides in and out so this could also make a fun little trinket box.  The cardboard has separated from age so please note that in addition to condition notes below.
NO MONOGRAMS
The piece is about 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches wide. About 5/8 of an inch thick.
MARKS:
It is hallmarked on the spine for the maker Deschamps Freres of Paris.  It also has a 2G stamp indicating the thickness of the silver plating.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are in estate condition.   The cardboard inside the metal sleeve had fallen apart and is taped back together.  Really nice quality to the silver plate with no warmer underlying brass.  A few dark spots from age and stubborn tarnish and some uniform surface scratching and scuffs from use.  But it is a cool antique piece with nice patina.  No deep dings or dents, sturdy piece.
But Due to age - Please note this piece is not in mint condition.
Thanks for stopping by my store!
