A George V solid 9ct gold vesta case by Henry Matthews of Birmingham, with a hinged plain cover, a ring attachment for a fob chain and the original ribbed striker along the base. A proper piece of gold, at 21.84g, and a century old.

Hallmarks: struck HM for Henry Matthews, 9 and 375 for 9ct gold, the Birmingham anchor and the date letter y for 1923 to 1924, on the body rim, with a matching set inside the lid. Read under a loupe here and photographed on the listing, mark by mark.

Measurements: 52mm by 38mm, weighing 21.84g.

Condition: good for its age and sound throughout, the cover closes crisply; two small dints to the front, as photographed, which is what a hundred years in a waistcoat pocket does.

Professionally cleaned and polished before despatch, supplied in a new Chapman gift case, and sent insured by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
