DESCRIPTION Solid sterling silver vesta case with a gilded interior + a solid sterling silver hinge lidded case with a gilded interior. Not sure what this little case was for, perhaps a match book. Looks like it might have had a spring or clip attached to the inside and a little external clasp appears to have been ground off.
