Samuel Moses James ‘Sammy’ Woods. Cambridge University, Somerset, England & Australia 1888-1910. Silver cigarette case with Wood’s initials ‘S.M.J.W’ to the front of the case. The case made by ‘Goldsmiths Company of Regent Street’ and hallmarked for London 1897. The case measuring 3”x3.25” has some faults including denting to surfaces otherwise in fairly good condition. A handwritten note to inside states ‘I expect it was given to him by some admirer, but Bertie Joel tells me it was brought over from Australia by a relative’.
