silver stamp case - England![]() Many stamp boxes were created in the 1890s when the advent of popular travel and the appearance of tourist novelties were beginning to be represented. The most popular shape of novelty box was the envelope style stamp case which were made in enormous quantities, mostly in silver. Furniture was another popular form explored in great depth, as were other domestic articles such as a wheelbarrow and a postbox. This stamp case has the shape of an envelope and was manufactured in Blrmingham by silversmith AL Ld on 1903. The stamp case is 1 1/8 in. wide (cm. 3) and was bought from an English dealer through the Internet. This item is not for sale, but most of my pieces were bought through the Internet.
