Translation of an early 20th century box

[Patapouf]

Hello,

 

I am trying to translate what was written on a box which was given to my grandmother's parent by a friend who came to Asia in the early 20th century. The box was containing a bracelet in jade and gold.

 

 

   

I tried by my own to identify the various characters, but for several I am not sure. The two X are characters I couldn't find.

 

      門          安
珠  牌   公   南    金
石  第   X    西     X
玉  四   老   貢   首
器  十   金   售   餙
      七   鋪   街
      號          市

 

 Using Google Translate and Word Reference I find the following translation :

 

 珠石玉器 : "Bead and stone jade object"

門牌第四十七號 : "House No.47"

公X老金鋪 : "Public X old gold shop"

安南西貢售街市 : "Annan Sai Kung market" I don't know how to analyse this one because I don't know if I really have to understand the names "Annan" and "Sai Kung" or something else. But It make                                      sense because Sai Kung is a Hong Kong district.

金X首餙 : "Gold X first ornements"

 

Could somebody help me, checking what I already did and putting me back on the right track ? 

 

Thank you very much !

Chinese text is read top to bottom, right to left. But these lines seem to be arranged around the center 公盛老金鋪 (Gongsheng is the shop name).

金葉 = gold leaf, 首飾 = jewelry, 珠石 = pearls and precious stones, 玉器 = jade ware

安南西貢舊街市 門牌第四十七號 is the address. 安南 (Annam) is the old name for Vietnam, 西貢 (Saigon) the old name for Ho Chi Minh City.

(I'll post this anyway since it includes a bit more information.)

 

Your first X is 葉.

餙 is a variant of 飾.

That's not 售 but 舊, traditional form of 旧.

Your second X is 盛.

The character written is 舖, a variant of 鋪.

安南西貢 refers to Saigon.
