Aha, what lies within? For all you medical and pharmaceutical folks, here is an amazing find. It's a field campaign mahogany apothecary box. Looks unremarkable on the exterior... just a patinaed, ancient mahogany handheld box. But open her up, and she is crimson velvet lined with bottle and vial compartments. There's a secret back compartment for the heavy stuff (laudanum etc...) This box is rarity in little gorgeous items, moreover a wonderful auspicious present. Pretty good condition, with obvious worn bits, scrapes, and some slider losses, and sorry... no bottles or vials. Doesn't lock. Circa 1870.
Dimensions when closed: 230 Long, 190 Deep, 270 High
