Early Winfield Scott Tin Box
<B>Early Winfield Scott Tin Box</B></I> Although "only" of Civil War vintage, this is still a great 3-D item for this very tough candidate. Fairly large tin box with hinged lid (now separated), the front a colorful paper label for "First Quality Cream Tartar," and featuring a nice portrait of Scott with eagle and flags. The label itself is a wonderful example of "period" lithography by H. L. Legien, Gold St., New York, and recorded by J. O. Cooke "in the year 1862." Scott, of course, was still alive and at the end of his illustrious career, serving as supreme commander of the Union Armies. The sides of the box were painted blue (original) and are extensively scratched. The label itself shows overall even "aging," but still has a pleasing, if weathered, display appearance. 7.5" x 6" x 9.5" in height.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Hollowware/Pottery/Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
