Two similar George V silver and tortoiseshell trinket boxes, E.S Barnsley & Co and Mappin & Webb, both Birmingham, 1919, 13.2cm.615
Estimate £200-300

One of the tortoiseshell inserts has become completely detached (all the pins are missing). There is a dent to the base of one side. The legs are a little misshapen as the box is slightly wobbly on a flat surface. Hallmarks a little rubbed on the lid.
The other box has a dented foot/leg and a few very minor dings to the silver. The velvet lined interior insert of the box is a little loose in situ. Hallmarks clear.
