A very unusual example to see today. Nice honest dry black square nail snip hing box that is divided. Note this box is just untouched with original wire snip hings and wire closer hook. Crude square Nails and measures 12 by 4 by 3 1/2 very hard to figure out what this box was for candles or two small instruments?? But for sure very early 18th century and looks great sitting on a table. Has roughness and minor cracks not effecting the piece or appearance.
