This very attractive sterling silver ladies card case is engraved with butterflies and tropical foliage. The monogram is MVNM(I think) and is dated June 17th 1882. The inside is lined in blue watered silk and features an appointment diary consisting of three ivory leaves endorsed Monday to Saturday. This diary is closed by inserting the sterling silver pencil through three loops(usually these pencils are lost). It was made by Hilliard and Thomason, Birmingham in 1881 and is in excellent condition other than a small stain to the silk lining. It is 100mm long, 70mm wide and 8mm thick.
