    Hello all

    I recently bought this lovely small picture frame. Folds like a book and holds three photos.

    The only mark is 900 on the clasp and I'm not sure where it comes from.

    Weighs 65g, external measurements are 4.6cm width 5.4cm height.

    Thanks for looking

    Italy, with the 900 mark and very pretty scroll work? Post WW2 Italian import?

    could be an unofficial Italian mark; often used by silversmithes and silver gift shops to circumvent taxes.

    Hi,
    What a great present for a traveling man. He could always look at his loved ones on the night stand in a hotel. I should say a traveling woman or man.

    Thank you @Bakersgma for your help, vintage Italian it is.

    @JayBee I will show it to a few people locally first, if no one wants it I will put it on eBay, happy to send you a link if you're interested.
