Silver Cigarette Case
NICK
Ireland . 1921.
Description:
A silver cigarette case (100x82x15mm) decorated with and engraved swirling arabesque pattern on the front and the back. At the centre of the front is engraved "Nick to Larry In Remembrance of Arbour Hill & Kilmainham Jails 1921". These jails were used for many Irish revolutionaries following the Easter Rising with Kilmainham being the site of the 1923 hunger strikes. It is likely, therefore, that this case marks a friendship forged during the struggles for Irish independence.
