An early twentieth century silver mounted table cigarette box, the rectangular form raised on four corner bracket feet, with engine-turned stripe decoration throughout and the hinged lid opening to a wood lined interior with two removable divider panels, also with a later presentation engraving to lid reverse. Hallmarked Wright & Davies (William Frederick Wright), London 1910. Maximum length including feet measuring 8 inches (20.2 cm).

The box appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some tarnishing and general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. A few minor surface dints and bumps. Slightly heavier wear around edges and to corners. Hinged lid appears in good working order and closes flush. The base lining is very worn and dropping slightly. Hallmarks are clear and legible including part hallmarks to lid. Maker's marks are rubbed and partly distorted. Inscription reads 'Presented by R. Griffiths to commemorate his term of office as Chairman of the Council 1949-1951.'
