Ornate thumb lift and lid. Heavy open 3 ring hinge.
Between c.1875-1895 was a period of transition from the closed hinge to open hinge, thumb lifts were also beginning to be moved over the hinge during this time. Heavy open 3 ring hinges were seen in use during this period.
The pewter marks on the shaft are currently unidentified.
