<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8201947, member: 74863&quot;]I bought this about 20 years ago and never really looked at it, that is until last week. It is the neatest wood box I’ve ever seen. Embedded into the wood is the patent date, February 19,1899. In 13 days this box will be 123 years old. </p><p><br /></p><p>This photo is the top of the box.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437340[/ATTACH] </p><p>The top and front.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437341[/ATTACH] </p><p>Both sides look like this. Lol</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437342[/ATTACH]</p><p>The bottom of the box.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437343[/ATTACH] </p><p>The inside of the box when fully open.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437344[/ATTACH]</p><p>The inside when partly opened.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437345[/ATTACH]</p><p>This it what it looks like when opened half way. Notice that small piece of metal centered in the top. That holds the box closed when connected to the metal piece in the bottom of the box. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437346[/ATTACH] Notice that thin strip of metal in the longer edges of the box. They are there when opened or closed. They act as hinges.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the nearest and coolest wood box I’ve ever seen. Photos just don’t do it justice. The following photos are what was inside the box but they are in the next post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
