AN EARLY TOLE DECORATED COMPARTMENTALIZED TIN
Lot 625 AN EARLY TOLE DECORATED COMPARTMENTALIZED TIN. This may be an early fishing tackle box. The only reason we say this is because originally there was a lot of old fishing tackle in it when it was discovered. The oval tin lid fitted with a Chippendale brass carrying handle, and when opened revealed compartmentalized fitted tray which removes to reveal another small fitted tray, two lidded sides which open to separate compartments, and a central portion with two round lidded cylinder tin canisters. The exterior painted with an old mustard yellow painted surface and remnants of the tole are stenciled grape motif on the lid. SIZE: 9 1/2” l x 7” w x 5 1/2” h. CONDITION: Retains 95% of the old mustard paint. The tole and stencil decoration on the lid are quite worn. Structurally, very nice. A very interesting piece. 9-96938 (400-500)
