Chinese export card case

Hi All - any thoughts appreciated.
A card case measuring 8cm by 4.5cm with detachable lid marked only WH and 90. I am confident the metal is silver and not silver plate. Looking at the forum's Chinese export section I see the same marks only with a third mark with Chinese characters for Wang Hing and Co trading out of Hong Kong late 19th early 20th century. Is this a likely candidate - thanks Frank

Hi Frank,

Agree, Wang Hing. Besides the forum's marks listing at: http://www.925-1000.com/chinex_marks.html see also:

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=24259 for further information on Wang Hing.

Regards, Trev.
