Antique Victorian silver stamp case. The pendant is smooth on the front and back of the case. The case was originally designed to store stamps however it would be perfect for a picture or momento similar to a locket. We think a miniature love letter would be incredibly romantic. The golden age of these little cases is said to be between 1890 and 1914. The Victorian designers made many different types and patterns.
The piece is hallmarked sterling silver on the inside on the piece.
