Very Rare GOLD COINS CASE Exonumia GERMANY Historical PERU Provenance 18K 1911

Description

Lot #EHEX4 - This i
s an antique 18K Gold Coin Holder Case or Box crafted in 1911, with fascinating engravings and obvious
provenance
.   This case opens and closes perfectly.  The dual gold coin slider mechanisms also work perfectly.  The precision gold case is 110 years old yet is exceptionally intact an
d fully functional.   A
button
on top opens the case.   Everything appears to be exactly as originally crafted and really cleanly functional as we would all hope to find.
This was designed in either Germany or Peru.  There is a stamp that reads ".750" indicating the case is 18K gold.  A maker mark "MIT" is stamped in the same place on the left coin holder
cylinder
.    There appears to be a symbol of the Freemasons on it as well with a square (right triangle) with another symbol overlapping (see photo - it is tiny).
The information on the piece is as follows:  The collector's hand written tag with it states "Eclectic Numismatic Treasure.  (the translation of the German in the main engraving says)  "As long as gold administers the dose, your step will never be turned to home.  Barranco.  Nov 26, 1911.  The Three Hamburgers".  It further states "May be commemorative of (a) South America Trip in 1911.   Barranco is an old Lima Peru neighborhood frequented by tourists".
There is a large fancy letter "C" engraved on the front of the case.  The inside has dual spring loaded gold cylinders that hold German Gold coins of the era perfectly and enable them to stack and slide out of the front smoothly.  The piece came with the 20 Mark German Gold coin dated 1910 and the 10 Mark German Gold Coin dated 1896 that are included and shown.  Including the gold fob, the piece measures 2.75" long x 1.125" wide x 0.5" thick. It weighs 1.6 oz.
We have never cleaned or handled it in any way other than gloved exposure for these photos.
The opens as designed and stays open, and also closes perfectly as it was when crafted.  It is in really great condition in this regard with no discernible damage or repairs.
We acquired an amazing private collection of over a dozen gold exonumia pieces.   This collection including this lot were acquired and preserved over five decades.  We will be listing them here.  This is the fourth lot in the series.
