Pair Sterling Silver Dressing or Tobacco Pots, Edwardian Item number: 7383 Date:1905 and 1907 Price: NZ$365.00 Two sterling silver pots with sprung lids. Hallmarks on the larger pot are for Birmingham 1905, maker is H.W. Ld (for Henry Williamson Ltd) and on the smaller pot Birmingham 1907, maker D & F (Deakin & Francis). Both have a monogram of intertwined initials on the lid. The smaller pot is either B.A.C. or possibly A.B.C. The larger pot is C.L.C. or something similar – I find it very hard to decipher these entwined letters. “C” seems to be the surname here though.

Inside, they have both been gilded, although this is largely worn on the smaller pot. Largest measures 36 mm high and 88 mm diameter (about 1.1/2 inches by 3.1/2 inches). The smaller measures 29 mm high by 83 mm diameter (1.1/8 inches by 3.1/4 inches). Both in excellent condition, you squeeze the sides to open them.
