PROBABLY GERMAN, MID-19TH CENTURY

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Good condition overall. Inevitable minor surface scratches, marks, knocks, wear, abrasions overall, consistent with age and use. With some of the original green staining remaining. One section of original green staining and one section with darker stain. Handle probably later, lacking lower plate and re-affixed. Interior with some original foil lining. Repair to the lid above the hinge. Split to the lid in the same area and also in the front above the catch. Remains of paper to the underside.
