Thank you Cogar

Do you also find it frustrating when you need info then there is absolute nothing?

I have spend hours and hours with any possible search word, but nothing?

So THANK YOU for your time and efforts I do appreciate it!

Hi there

I have searched the web for hours and could not find anything on this item.  Any other suggestions?

Do you think some sort of history department in Edinburgh will be able to help? How do I contact them?

I really would like to find out more about this item.

Thanking you in advance

Antique Questions Forum / 1897 Cigar Holder

« on: June 05, 2008, 03:11:13 am »

I have the following Cigar Holder (I think it is one) See Photo's.

Engraving at the back of the box reads " IBR OR JBR (Initials) and underneath that EDINBURGH 1897"

If I unscrew the box, on the plate some leaves are engraved on it. (It look like silver to me)
There are no markings on it, I think this was made for someone personal.

As I have no idea to start looking for information on this item, maybe you could help me?

Any help Will be great.
