Antique TUCK CHANG c. 1900 Chinese Export Sterling Silver Hallmarked & Stamped TC, Lot of (2) Match Box Covers, one High-content Silver & the other a Cloissonne Copper Cover with Original Antique French Match Boxes, amazing find! (obviously a gift many years ago, easily removed with polishing, I do not clean my items I leave this to others to decide). These have not been fully polished and yet it has such a mirror-finish, that’s the high silver-content involved here. The other matchbox cover is cloisonne made of copper. Both have the authentic French matchboxes included (both quite old), along with original matchsticks. One match box has a wooden lining, both are incredible alone. These are sincerely wonderful forgive my poor photography, please take a second look here.
