A George III bright cut engraved silver oval nutmeg grater, with hinged steel rasp, by Joseph Wilmore, Birmingham, 1809, 37mm.
Estimate £100-150

Hallmarks clear. The lid does close fully. Small ding to centre of lid. Small dent to base rim. Engraved decoration a little tired. No repairs to either hinge. On the interior of the lid and base there is visible solder around the rims, which implies some kind of old repair although there is no obvious evidence from the front??
The rasp is rusted.
