CARTIER AND OTHER STERLING SILVER ARTICLES, LOT OF TWO, comprising a 1 1/2 oz. individual brandy warmer likely retailed by Cartier of Paris, France and New York City, NY having a wooden handle, and a square luggage tag by Simons, Bro. & Co. of Philadelphia, PA with beaded edge and a personalized engraving of "C.S. Vance / Los Angeles / Cal." Each pieces with "STERLING" and maker's / retailer's mark, tag also marked "716 / S". Total weight including wooden handle: 1.220 ozt. Together with an unmarked silver/silver-plated article, possibly vodka cup or open salt, of unknown origin and unknown silver fineness/metal content, having engraved, chased, and repousse decoration featuring foliate and scrolled motifs. Three pieces total. Late 19th/20th century. Warmer 6 1/8" LOA.
Catalogue Note: Though C.S. Vance has not been certainly identified, one possible candidate is Champ Shepherd Vance (1864-1929), who lived in California, including Los Angeles, from 1885 until his death. He was born in Abington, Virginia to parents Capt. James Vance Jr. (1834-1896) and Anne Eliza Castleman (1838-1874). In 1895, Champ married Clementine Blanche Conradi (1866-1932), the daughter of Symon [Simon/Samuel] Conradi, a pioneer Los Angeles jeweler, and the couple had two children. Advancing through positions at the Los Angeles Lighting Company, which evolved to Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation, Champ became a vice-president and director at the corporation by 1913.
Good to very good overall condition with some wear, surface scratches, and other imperfections including nicks, and/or one or a few dents; cup with slight worn spots to decoration.
