18th century oval engraved brass British

pill box marked Alfrid Marsh Flempton Green

on the hinged lid and bearing an impressive

engraved nautical compass on the underside.

Perhaps the owner was a sea fairing

merchant. The piece has a weighty feel in

the hands and the lids still closes sound

to protect what ever precious contents

might have been inside. This rare and

impressive example would make a great

addition to any fine collection.
