The company created lines of sterling silver items, from small and intricate thimbles to large and exquisite candlesticks and Gentleman’s accessories. The company has a distinctive hallmark that can be seen on some of their sterling silver items
. This is a mint condition Antique handmade American made Gentleman's jacket pocket carrying case for Cigars. In the mid to late 19th Century, almost all men used tobacco of some sort. This case was made to carry cigars, that were very popular in the late 1800's and early 1900’s. Only a Man of means would have been able to afford such a fine smoking accessory. Wealthy gentlemen and gamblers desired fancy goods, i.e., a fancy Cigar holder that would, when occasion required, be brought out of the jacket pocket with great Victorian flourish, offering a Cigar to their friend or acquaintance with a flair of gentlemanly courtesy. Even then, these cigar cases were considered an Object D' Art and a status symbol. This sterling silver case is 4 7/8" tall x 2 1/4" wide x 7/8" thick, weighing 2.6 ounces or 76 grams. This is a well-made case with attention to detail such as the inside border lips on both shell halves and small protrusions at both ends for alignment. The embossed scroll and flower patterns applied to the insides of the 2 identical deeply embossed shells enhanced with hand line engraving, and a 7-pronged hinge, a perfect alignment of the front and back pieces, a spring-loaded push button release on the right side, and delicate gold wash on the inside that is intact and unused. This piece is hallmarked Sterling with the arrow through W Maker mark in 2 places on the top groove of both the front and back shells with a spring-loaded release lever that works fine. This piece is in mint condition and does not show any wear, with a very light aged patina with dark aging in protected areas. The top center panel is hand engraved E F von T in Old English lettering. This handmade piece was accomplished by Specialized Craftsmen. There are no dings, dents, damage, or repairs. With no scuffs or scratch marks demonstrates it is in mint, unused condition, was "put up", and obviously was well taken care of. This piece can still be used or admired and displayed as Object D` Art due to being in mint, unused condition. This handsome case would be perfect for any cigar, cigar cutter, tobacco user, Tobacciana, Gentleman's, Smoking accessory / accouterment / accessory, or would make an impressive gift.

eBay customers are protected when they are an eligible buyer, complete a purchase of an eligible item on a eBay's website, and purchase the item on eBay by using the "Pay Now" option, third-party checkout or an eBay invoice in one lump payment with a PayPal approved financial business. Buyers must keep their PayPal account in good standing. Buyers must show good faith conduct with the seller. Improper good faith conduct can include, but is not limited to, any means by which a buyer can attempt to unjustly benefit from the Seller's Terms & conditions or eBay's Buyer Protection plan. Moreover, good faith conduct does not include buyer's remorse, regardless of the reason. Returns will not be accepted such as changed my mind, found a better price, just didn't like it, Ordered by mistake, Arrived too late, etc. Returns will not be accepted and buyers will be reported to eBay when buyer makes
false
claims such as doesn't match description or photos, doesn't seem authentic, Doesn't fit, Wrong item sent, Missing parts or pieces, Doesn't work or defective, Arrived damaged. If you wish to take advantage of any of the issue resolution options available from the seller, you must have the business courtesy to discuss any potential issue within 3 days of receipt, and gain agreement with the seller prior to requesting a return through eBay, leaving feedback or initiating any online dispute process. By doing so, buyers commit to negotiate in good faith, and that they have not initiated any other form of resolution processing; including eBay / PayPal dispute process or credit card charge backs, or purchases where you have been or may be compensated by a third party. Possible buyer / seller resolution examples are: if seller and buyer agree that an item is significantly different than described and photographed, exchanging an item for a different item from the seller (whether listed or unlisted), credit from the seller against any current or future item, adjustment, trade, return, or any other arrangement that is mutually agreed upon between the seller and the buyer, and confirmed in writing via eBay's email system. These options are designed to expedite resolution of any potential issue quickly, easily and amicably, in lieu of eBay / PayPal on-line dispute resolution process which is lengthy, laborious, and allows decisions to be made by a 3rd party instead of the principals; i.e., the buyer & seller.
