Re: Chinese Silver Import Cigarette Case
Your cases are somewhat like the one I posted on the 16th. I found the hallmark on the inside on part of the clasp. I would think that if there is no hallmark they must be older. Yours are much more intracate then mine but mine has some history. Hopefully we will learn more.

Are you certain it's actaully silver? Chinese silver for export was generally marked from the late 1700's onward.
