Help with marks and age on cigaret box.

Post by gsmoggy »

Hi Members

Any idea on these marks,may be maker or year mark?
Looks to be just silver plated, In the style of silver ones made by Luen Wo ,Shangai, not sure if they made plated boxes.

Regards Guido.

Hi Cheryl
Many thanks for the article,Good to know that these interesting low cost boxes are around 100years old.
I find it interesting to have a mixture of styles and quality in my collection.
great work.

This one in similar style ,silver plated ,probably one level up from the last one (very,very heavy)
has Ashi Shoten Kobe Yokohama ,rising sun mark on base,Mt Fuji on lid.
I feel is an interesting box. Probably later than the antimony boxes.

Regards Guido.
