An unusual antique c1900 acorn pendant in sterling silver. The top unscrews to reveal a cork lined compartment inside. Similar to Victorian thimble-holders in design, but probably too small for a thimble. Perhaps for holding snuff. Marked "Austria Sterling" and hand engraved with "Phi Alpha 23." 

Materials

Sterling Silver, Cork, and Brass Loop

Date

c1900

Condition

Good. Numerous small dents and patina. A later inscription on the case. Top is somewhat difficult to remove.
