When I purchased this unique box years ago at auction I felt it was probably a spice box. Then recently on eBay I saw a box, almost identical in shape, construction and size which was listed as Excellent Ex-Museum C1780 American Treen Spice Box . To see this listing go to Advanced Search, type in the title in the Keyword box and click the Completed Listings Only box. The listed box was an ex-museum item and the listing told about a similar box being pictured in Genevieve Cummins definitive book on boxes, Antique Boxes In And Out 2006. Other references sited were Early American Antique Country Furnishings by George C. Neumann, Primitives And Folk Art by Catherine Thuro, and Early American Wooden Ware by Mary Earle Gould. I personally have not seen these books. The box I am listing is 10 3/4" long X 3 3/4" wide X 3 1/4" deep and is completely hand made. The lid swivels open to reveal two compartments for storage of spices. The lid has a variety of wonderful hand carved designs. The right side of the box is decorated with a carved classic 8 pointed star and an area with carved grooves for rubbing or grating. The left side of the box has two carved grating areas. The box is very thick and heavy and has a wonderful patina. The ends and the back of the box are plain with no carved designs. The box is in very good condition but does show minor surface rubbing on the grating area on the right side and the top left side. As to the origin and exact age of this box I cannot say. I try to describe my items to the best of my knowledge. If you have any questions please contact me BEFORE you bid. I will only ship to the U.S. If you are paying by PayPal, I will only ship to a confirmed address. Priority or parcel post shipping will be determined by the winning bidder's zip code and will include delivery confirmation. Insurance is optional but I am not responsible for lost or damaged items that are not insured. I will accept a money order, cashiers check, personal check (10 days to clear), or PayPal. Payment to be received within 10 days from close of auction. Thanks for looking, and good luck bidding.
