Beautiful antique sterling silver mistress match safe, circa 1896, made by Battin & Co.  The front opens and reveals an original picture of a lady.  The match safe has a gorgeous, very detailed, high relief floral pattern on the front and back of the match safe.   The match safe is in overall excellent condition.

The match safe measures 2 5/8" by 1 3/8".  The inside of the match safe is marked "Sterling 158 PAT. MARCH 31 1896" and the it looks like the Battin & Co. hallmark on the inside rim of the match safe.  The tension rod is in place and functioning well, but the top and bottom have to be squeezed a little to completely closed.   There are no splits, holes or repairs.  There is only one tiny ding on the non monogram side of the match safe.  This is a gorgeous and rare, antique match safe made by Battin & Co.
