This is an unusually large antique sterling silver pin cushion.

Fashioned as a railway lamp, it is clearly hallmarked for Chester 1914 with the maker's mark for Joseph & Richard Griffin.  The base is filled to add stability and neatly finished with leather. The top comes off to reveal a large and useful void and the 'lamp' at the front is actually a mirror.  The lid fits snugly.  There are a couple of small knocks around the rim but nothing to worry about. A novelty!
