Victorian BOXED 4 Pc Set Etui SOLID Silver Needle Case Sewing Kit Laurel Gold W

Description

I am selling a collection of chatelaine, sewing and small jewelry items, I have a few other original Victorian sewing kits in box so please see my other offerings. : )
ABOUT:
Beautiful antique Victorian 4 piece set in antique box.  Set includes solid silver needle case, scissors and punch / seam tool with Laurel leaf and berry handles, and a floral solid silver thimble.  This set is all held in an antique brown faux leather box with embossed designs around the lid.  The box has a push button opening.
The needle case and punch have a beautiful gold wash / vermeil plating over the silver.  The inside of the needle case is also beautifully gold washed. The scissors no longer has it, it has worn off from use and polishing, and is only visible on the inside of the handles when you open the scissors.  I believe the thimble is a replacement as it does not match exactly the other designs.
Interesting Victorian collectible items for use or display!  All pieces are antique and fit in the appropriate spaces in the antique box.  Box may have held a needle at one time as well as there is an additional little loop.
HALLMARKS:
The needle case and punch and thimble are all marked with the boar's head hallmark for French solid silver items.  Also have maker's marks I could not decipher. I couldn't locate the hallmark on the scissors but the handles are clearly silver and matching to the rest of the set. The blades to the scissors and punch / seam tool are likely steel.
MEASUREMENTS:
Scissors are 3 1/2 inches, punch tool is about 3 1/4 inches, and the little needle case is 2 1/2".
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition.  Thimble does not seem to be original as it doesn't match the motif on the other pieces.  I think the set may have had a needle held under the additional loop in the case but that is missing.  I don't see any deep scratches, no dings or dents.  The gold wash has worn off the scissors handles.  The scissors are hinged tightly and seem almost spring loaded where you have to squeeze harder to close them all the way and they bounce back open a few millimeters.  A few cloudy spots to the stainless steel but all very clean and still fully functioning. The box is great, with tight hinges and functioning push button.  A few spots  and wear from age.
So Please note that due to age, this set is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my store.  Thanks for stopping by!
