I have had this ultra rare vesta for some years now and i know it is very rare indeed, has anyone ever seen anyhting like it. It is solid silver and was made in Birmingham in 1903 by Matthew Wilcox & Son. On the front of the vesta were it opens it says Wilcoxs Patent. There is a matchstrike on the bracelet.
