THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOX THAT WAS FOUND IN NEW JERSEY. THE BOX FEATURES ORIGINAL COTTER PIN HINGES, SHORT RISE LEGS, ORIGINAL RED PAINT AND A NICE CLEAN INTERIOR.HOWEVER, THE GREATEST ATTRIBUTE OF THIS BOX, BESIDES ITS AGE AND SIZE, IS THE ORIGINAL ALL WOOD LOCKING MECHANISM. IT IS INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL TO FIND A WOODEN LOCK. WHILE THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THERE IS A TIGHT CRACK ON THE RIGHT PANEL AND A VERY TIGHT SURFACE CRACK ON THE LEFT PANEL. NEITHER AFFECT THE STABILITY OF THE BLANKET BOX. THERE IS NO KEY, AT THIS POINT IN BOX LIFE THE LOCK CAN BE OPENED OR CLOSED SIMPLY BY TILTING THE BOX. DIMENSIONS ARE 14”L X 6 3/4”W X 8 3/4”H. THE BOX HAS RED PAINT AND NOT A STAIN. VERY SWEET, EARLY AND UNUSUAL. AMERICAN, CIRCA 1840 OR SO. More photos available.
