| This sterling silver card case is a one-of-a-kind treasure! It features a jovial monk at the dining table, complete with a stein, a bowl of fruit and either a cigar or large cigarette in his hand. The entire front of the case is covered in beautifully engraved billows of smoke. The details of the monk's face are wonderful, right down to the crinkle of his crows feet when he smiles. The back is engraved with three large, ornate initials. The sterling mark is clearly visible on the lower left hand corner of the front side. The case is hinged and in proper working order. It measures 3 1/4 " by 2 3/8". The back has a small dent on the lower right corner, and an even smaller one on the back at the top. There is a patina as one would expect to find in an older silver object. Wonderful and rare, this would make an exceptional card case for someone special. | |||||
