These are just lovely place card holders. From an English collection, the pair are sterling silver and hallmarked for Chester, England, 1910.  Containing the makers mark for Sampson Mordan and Co., LTD. this makers mark can be dated to that period.  These are of a very good weight, sturdy, measure 1 1/4" wide and 1" tall, and in excellent antique condition. In horse shoe form, these are perfect to adorn a dining table especially that of the horse lover.  These would also pair well with our other sterling silver place card and menu holders found in separate listings.
