Napkin Rings:

In excellent condition for their age of 83 years, with minor tarnish marks and surface scratches consistent with age, the odd very small dint present, overall a superb pair of early 20th century napkin rings, kept and looked after beautifully.

Box:
The box is an original jewellers box from J. B. Hopcraft based in Grays in Essex.

Exterior of the box: unfortunately the catch that secures the box is broken and the box is ever so slightly

misaligned there is some corrosion to the yellow metal and general age related wear, see photos.

The interior of the box: this is in good order with the green felt still present and securely protects the napkin rings from damage again significant age related wear present and the divider between both sides of the box has dislodged from the box ( see photo ). The green exterior matches the green felt interior a nice stylish touch.

However, these are an elegant and pretty pair of vintage silver napkin rings.
