Perfect to keep your incoming post or letters organized, or why not use it to hold a few napkins on your dinner table? It has clear marks on the bottom. ´B´ for Britannia metal, a little running ostrich and WMF/G for the WMF brand made for the German market and it dates it between 1910 and 1925. The I/O designated a ´normal silver coating´ and OX stands for ´oxidised silver´. It also has a lower case letter ´g´ on the bottom. Condition: With wear overall, repeated polishing over the years has worn away some of the finish and there are darker spots, scuffs, scratches overall. The sides are bent and lightly wavey - the material is fairy soft so they could be bent back into shape is great care is taken.
