This Incredible Stained Glass Hinged box is in great antique condition. besides a few of the glass pieces being cracked it still opens and closes and is structurally sound. This is the story as I know it. This box was given to my great - grandfather (for my great grandmother) on Christmas back in the day for payment of some kind. It was created by a black man and his initials are the ones you see on top. H.P. The top pieces that are silver are actually mirror pieces and the remaining are a combination of various other pieces. We owned a farm in Ohio and apparently this black man needed food for his family and this was the only way he could pay. You are probably wondering why I want to auction it off. No one in my family wants it, it is not current fashionable or decorative enough so it would be great to go to someone who would appreciate it. The shipping will be double wrapped and double boxed for security and signature required for pickup. It measures 13" x 7" x 5" Please submit payment within 3 days of winning bid unless other arrangements have been made. In a case where payment has not been made a second chance offer will be made. Please understand that as the cost of shipping has increased so has our personal costs. Boxes, bubble wrap etc also need to be considered in the cost of shipping. Please pay within 3 days of read more
