It is popularly called a 'snotneus' (snot nose) because the sucked up oil sometimes had the annoying property of dripping over the edge. The miniature is only marked with the sword mark (before 1906) for at least 2nd grade silver. The 'snotneus' is in good condition. Weight: 16. 6 grams. Dimensions: 2 x 5 cm.
