I found this metal detecting at an old sea captains house. I would like to put it in my display case but would also like to attribute it and also date it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is approximately 1/2 inches diameter by 1 3/8 long stamped sterling

I am trying to send a picture

Has anyone been able to identify this makers mark ?

I know it is a sterling lipstick holder but who made it and what year ?

Maybe Unger Brothers. Take a look here: https://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_U.html

Hi,

Perhaps not a lipstick-holder, but a mount from an eraser and brush:


Unger Bros. - New York - 1894
