Vintage Sterling Silver Cigarette Urn by Preisner Sterling 1935

Description

This is a Vintage Sterling Silver Cigarette Urn made by Preisner Sterling.  They were brothers who came to Wallingford, Ct. from Louisiana with just the clothes on their backs.  All three brothers became apprentices at the Wallace Silver Company.  They started their own company in 1935.  This urn does have a dent on the bottom rim and a few dings at the bottom.  I tried to show these "flaws" in the above photos.  It is not engraved.  It is clean inside.  I didn't want to scrap this just because it is not perfect.  These urns are getting harder to find in sterling.  It weighs 78 grams.  It is weighted at the bottom.  It measures 2 3/4 inches tall and is 2 1/2 inches at its widest.  The opening is  inches across.   Postage includes all packing materials and the cost of shipping and handling.  Thank you for looking.
