Very Good-Excellent overall antique cond: Offered for your review & consideration is this exceptional, very unusually banded, early 20th c English antique tin toleware, handled metal cash box w/particularly bold gold banding on the box's sidewalls. It's painted in black lacquer w/thin red line & fluctuating gold bands. The cash box incredibly still has its secret, hidden interior fitted compartment w/a collapsing, hinged wire handle. This interior, 2-bay compartment was intended to hold coins, while any bills would be kept hidden underneath the interior pull-out compartment. This interior sleeve's painted in all black lacquer enamel & is nearly undisturbed, as is the paint on the exterior of the cash box, less some slight, very minor scuffs & a few minor abrasions along its outside edges. The box enjoys a fancy decorative hinged brass lifting/carrying handle found on its lid. The cash box is in very well-pres cond, now being 120-125 yrs old. A great early mercantile artifact. Handsome. |
