Condition

This is a genuine vintage/antique piece and presents with the character expected of age:

• Heavily tarnished brass, offering a rich, authentic patina that many collectors value. The brass could be polished if a brighter finish is preferred, but it is currently left untouched to preserve its antique look.
• One side of the top banding is slightly raised. This does not affect the function of the box and is noted for accuracy.
• Otherwise good throughout with no major structural issues observed.
