Object Description
This huge George III silver and tortoiseshell tobacco box was made C1770 and measures almost 6 inches in length by 4 5/8 inches wide and is over 1 inch deep, it has a lovely silver oval plaque to the centre bearing double cypher initials inside a band of leaf design engraving, it is unmarked as was quite often the norm but it is of such a large size I have photographed a regular size box with it so you can gain a semblance of the size. It is in excellent condition with the shell being nicely figured and having no cracks a very rare item!
