Beautiful silver case! Wonder what an antique dealer would value it at. Definitely an oldie. Nice find!

Nice match stick case :clapping: It may not be Sterling, but it has a huge amount of heavy plate left on it. That's a keeper for sure. Nice Merc also. thumbsup01

thanks all, you can see the hole there in the middle bottom , it is a mechanisim for opening and latching the top, , push it down and it lowers and the top opens , push it back and it latches, very cool, can find no info on the place,
