The lid hinge operates smoothly, and the box opens securely and closes with a tight, flush fit. The silver retains a beautiful luster and natural patina that highlights the fluted details. As expected with a 130-year-old vanity item, there are a few minor dents strictly on the bottom surface of the base (please see photos for close-up details). The side walls, fluted lid, and edges are in fantastic shape with no splits, cracks, or heavy damage. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA wonderful, pocket-sized heirloom piece perfect for collectors of Victorian silver or Deakin \u0026amp; Francis vanity items!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vendor Purchase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047766073563,"sku":"7031872445871","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/9812\/3369\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-07-30T135744.206.jpg?v=1785434421","url":"https:\/\/goodmansantiques.com\/products\/deakin-francis-antique-1897-victorian-sterling-snuff-box-h-monogram","provider":"Goodman's Antiques \u0026 Estate Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
