Zimmerman in 1898. Crafted in solid sterling silver and bearing full English hallmarks, the case reflects the refined taste and exceptional quality associated with one of Britain's leading silver manufacturers of the period.

Its gracefully tapered form is enhanced by a beautifully hand-engraved armorial crest, accompanied by the original owner's script name, giving the piece both historical character and a distinguished sense of provenance. The crisp engraving and rich patina create an eye-catching presentation that embodies the elegance of the Victorian gentleman.

The case measures 5.75 inches high, 1 inch at its widest point, and 1 inch deep, with a total weight of 35 grams.

Its timeless design and luxurious craftsmanship make it an excellent addition to collections of antique tobacco accessories, English silver, or gentleman's antiques.
