Sterling Silver My Last Rolo Keepsake - Sheffield Hallmarked 2005 - C. W. Sellors - Boxed - C3043

Summary

A boxed sterling silver "My Last Rolo" keepsake, manufactured under licence by C. W. Sellors and hallmarked at Sheffield in 2005. Designed as a lasting version of the final Rolo from the brand's long running advertising campaign, and a piece that most British buyers will immediately understand.

Description

A solid sterling silver keepsake modelled as a single Rolo chocolate, with the familiar tapered cylindrical form of the sweet, a recessed circular top and a smooth high polish finish throughout. The piece is substantial in the hand - 16.5g of silver in a form most people in Britain have held in chocolate at some point.

The hallmark is struck to the underside for sterling silver at the Sheffield Assay Office in 2005. The piece was manufactured under licence by C. W. Sellors, the Sheffield based goldsmiths and silversmiths known for quality British silverware.

The Rolo advertising campaign ran for more than 20 years from 1980, built around a single question: "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?" The slogan turned the final chocolate in a packet into a small act of devotion. This piece takes that idea and makes it permanent - a last Rolo that cannot be eaten, only given.

Supplied in the original red "My last Rolo" cylindrical presentation box with polka dot ribbon decoration.

Condition

Very good condition with only minimal signs of handling. The original box is present and has minor surface wear consistent with age and storage.
