Stunning quartersawn oak silver chest presentation case to Margaret English Mullen June 1st, 1899. Lots of swirls in the golden oak. Measures 18 1/2" wide x 9" tall x 12 1/2 deep. There is the main compartment and a lower drawer. The lower drawer won't open unless the lid is open.
The interior must be replaced. The box is in solid condition. There is a light spattering of something perhaps paint, tiny spots. They come off with a fingernail, but I'll leave that to you. The hardware seems to be brass.
