DANCE CARD antique SQUIRREL victorian PAINTERS PALETTE silverplated SILVER PLATE

Description

For sale is I think a Victorian period silverplated dance card? Its rather unusual with the squirrel topped front and what looks like a artists palette front and back cover. It probably had a celluloid card/page inside with only minute remains of it left around the joint/hinge. Even the pendant portion at the top has an unusual ornate stamped design! It is in fairly good shape with some normal wear from age and handling, as pictured. Some of the silver-plating is worn away in the most vulnerable areas; the front and back pages are a bit wavy in areas so that they don't close flat to each other (see 7th pic with side view) and the applied squirrel front is raised up along the tail and back of neck area (see last pic). Buyer pays shipping fee based on zip-code.
