silver vinaigrette
Sterling Silver Chatellaine Vinaigrette c1850
This one had us stumped for a while.  It has the wirework open case of any vinaigrette but is sealed and larger then most at 62mm by 24mm.  It also has a chain attached.  Our research told us that it is an older style used with a Chatellaine.  It is in very good condition, engraved 'Silver' to the rear - tested as 925 grade.  Very collectable, we are offering at a price that is sure to get collectors drooling ;-)
