Contact us about Victorian Patinated Brass Lobster Claw Holding a Pearl Vesta Case

Circa 1880 late Victorian novelty patinated brass Vesta case in the form of a lobster claw holding a pearl including matches still inside. Fully working with a good lid that closes well. The cultured pearl has a hole through so may have been replaced or was used to suspend the Vesta from an Albert chain as there is no suspension ring on the vesta itself.
