CHARMING VINTAGE 800 SILVER OVAL PILLBOX ORNATELY ENGRAVED

This petite oval pillbox is hand-engraved across the lid with a symmetrical flourish of acanthus leaves and scrolls. Dark recesses set off the bright silver, much like niello work. A hinged lid with a thumb-lift tab opens to a smooth interior stamped 800, so it works for pills, a keepsake, or a pocket-sized trinket. Its warm patina and fine engraving make it a charming collectible for pillbox and miniature silver enthusiasts. * MATERIALS: 800 silver (.800 fineness) * ERA: Mid-20th century, circa 1940s–1960s * MAKER/MARKS: "800" in an oval cartouche, plus a small additional oval mark inside the lid (maker unidentified) * MEASUREMENTS: 1" x 3/4" (2.5 cm x 1.9 cm) * CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with a natural patina, light surface scratches on the base, and a crisp hinge and engraving.
