Here is another sterling silver minaudiere (hard purse) from ca. 1900. This one is hallmarked but I don't know the maker. Possibly European or English. It has a wonderful shield like cartouche on one side and a chased floral design on the reverse. The interior is a green/blue silk voille fabric in excellent condition. The purse has a few dings (dents) but as you can see from the photos you can bearly see them! The wonderful link chain terminates with a ring for wearing on your finger or from a chatelaine hook. Approx. 4 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" high plus the chain.
