Price: $475.00 including shipping

Sold by Forget-Me-Not Antiques

Pilgrim century slide lid candle box constructed with single wide dovetails and large wooden pegs all around. Raised slide lid is characteristic of 17th century. Smaller size with original very dry Spanish brown paint. Measures 8 3/4” x 6” x 4” tall. Initials “E N” painted on the bottom. There is a hand written inscription in pencil on the inside of the lid with a date “Jan 13, 1707”. A name that looks like “Maude Croff” above the date and “night Emma was to come busy day Xmas” plus more that I can’t make out. The box once had a locking piece as evidenced by the slot in the lid and the metal piece on the box directly below. Very good condition with just some split outs by the pegs on the bottom. Very rare to find this early.
