A anchor symbol, a lion and the letter F as well as the lion and the letter F on the other part of the inside of the case which all denote the maker I believe. The inside is a gold color and machined into a swirl pattern. IP: Logged

I am pretty sure the anchor is the sign for the Birmingham Assay office, the letter "F" could be 1905, 1930, 1955 or 1980. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist you with the maker's mark. IP: Logged

From their establishment the firm specialized in the manufacture of brushware and silver-mounted toilet accessories. A list of their production in 1917 includes cigar and cigarette boxes, card cases and other things. IP: Logged
