S 405 Sterling Silver Tweezers & Nail File Set 1921
This is a matching pair of silver handled tweezers and nail file. They were usually made in pairs or complete manicure sets that usually get separated over the years.
There is a full British hallmark on both items but the assay marks on the tweezers are rubbed and difficult to read. We can see the sterling silver mark and the Sheffield assay office mark on the tweezers, but the maker mark and date letter are difficult to read. However the maker mark looks like J & R Griffin. The nail file has a full hallmark from the Chester assay office with the mark for sterling silver, a date letter for 1921 and the maker mark for J & R Griffin
Measuring around 120 mm in length and 8 mm at the widest part of the handle, the pair weigh in at 25.3 grams total.
The items have clearly been used and the handle of the nail file has a small ding but otherwise they are in very good order for their age.
The items can still be used but are ready to join a collection.
