Probably used as a watch fob. The British silver hallmarks on the back meanings:</p><p><br /></p><p>Lion passant - British silver purity for .925 (sterling)</p><p>Date letter code &quot;y&quot; - 1898</p><p>City mark, anchor - Birmingham</p><p><br /></p><p>The punch with &quot;CES&quot; is the maker&#039;s mark for Charles Edward Soloman</p><p><a href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-CE-CL.html#CE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-CE-CL.html#CE" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-CE-CL.html#CE</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
