I want to mention to all of you who may be newcomers to my site that the LOW STARTING BID and NO RESERVE is not a reflection of the quality or value of the item. Most of my loyal repeat buyers know this about the items that I offer up for auction; you can check my feedback to be sure. I know that the real fun is being able to bid so I start my auctions at the lowest possible opening bid and when the auction ends, the price will be just what it should be. Have fun, email me with any questions and good luck! If you have (0) FEEDBACK, please email me before bidding.

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WITH THE MARKINGS 800 ON THE INSIDE OF THE TOP. THERE IS A SWAN MARKING AND AN INDISTINGUISHABLE MARKING NEXT TO THE 800 MARK. The Swan mark appears to be a French mark used on watch cases and other small boxes, 1893-1969. The shape of the swan (curvature of the neck), can vary slightly. This mark was used on foreign silver imports and other products that were of unknown foreign origin and provided the casing for French products. The silver fineness also varied. It could be Armenian, most likely originating from Persia or Turkey, but such works also came from Eastern Europe and were even made in France in the early 1900's, which carry the French mark.
