About the Item

Beautiful antique sterling silver bonkin or perfume case with repousse flowers and leaves. On the rim is the marks Sterling B.B.& B. which stand for Bailey, Banks & Biddle. The famous American jewelry firm from Philadelphia, Bailey, Banks and Biddle, first opened its doors as Bailey and Kitchen in 1832. Catering to modish Philadelphians, the firm sold fashionable jewelry as well as silverware and precious objects. In 1846, one of the original owners, Joseph Trowbridge Bailey, invited his brother into the business. In 1878, Joseph’s son, Joseph Bailey II, forged a partnership with two other jewelers: George Banks of J.E. Caldwell and Samuel Biddle of Robbins, Clark, & Biddle.1 The result was Bailey, Banks, and Biddle. The firm developed a reputation for offering high-quality, well-designed jewelry as evidenced by its commissions to design the first 40,000 Purple Hearts for the United States military as well as to create the Naval Academy and West Point class rings. Its a nice piece in very good condition shown in the photos and video.
