Provenance: Property from the distinguished collection of Mr. James Lee Soffer, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Height: 1 in x width: 4 1/2 in x depth: 3 in. The case is in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or dents. There is a light loss to enamel in the center of the pattern, which is only visible when one looks at it closely and not visible at arm length. As expected from its age and use, there is light wear throughout the case. On the inner side of the case, there is a network of dark brown dots possibly due to oxidation. The painting along the interior has yellowed with age considerably. The case opens and clasps smoothly.
