This fabulous antique thread or string box measures 90mm (3.5'') long x 40mm (1.5'') across the middle. It dates to around the 1850's or possibly earlier and is finely carved from Coquilla nut with a threaded centre and a hole for the string or thread. It has a fantastic patina not really shown in my photos and has one old short tight hairline crack which only extends across the 3 bands of the centre (photo3). A very fine example of carved antique Coquilla Nut pocket thread or string box. International buyers are always welcome to this NO RESERVE auction. F.M.O.C. Postage outside the United Kingdom is at cost please contact me for a quote.Due to the recent large increase in UK postage rates I am happy for international buyers to arrange their own collection and domestic buyers to collect in person. Most international postage rates are listed as NOT signed for and NOT insured so if you require either please let me know and I will add it to your invoice. Sadly due to Italy terrible postage system I will always add £5.15 to the postage charge for signed for to ensure it reaches the customer. If the item is listed as " Signed for " on the postage then obviously it is already included. If you have any questions please do contact me. All our items are extremely well packed to save them from damage in transit. If you are not happy with read more
