This is a very unique and rare new old stock Belmont Record coffin identification time capsule from circa 1900-1930. The piece features a brass tube with threaded ends, each having a gasket making the piece waterproof. This was made by Belmont Casket Co. Used in areas where flooding is a problem. The dead would unbury themselves with heavy rains and the caskets would float away. The tube would hold the identification of the casket it was placed. In the original box very good condition. Measures 6"L and 1.5" diameter. Box is 6.5"x2"x1 7/8".
