| INDEX | ALL SILVER |
| DESCRIPTION | Antique English Georgian solid sterling silver snuffer's tray with thread decorated border and no engraving or erasure. Unusual for a lovely open, flat piece of silver to have escaped the engraver, perhaps the snuffers were suitably engraved and that was considered sufficient. |

| CONDITION | very good, no engraving or erasure, some surface marks, little bumps and digs commensurate with use. Tiny, about 2mm, flaw now visible in the internal side.
