Antique Tole Painted Foo Dog Box for "Future Prosperity"

Regular price $30.00

How could I resist the hand-painted golden foo dog on the lid of this old tin box, promising future prosperity? Perhaps used as a snuff box, perhaps for something else, now useful for all sorts of little things. Late 19th century or so I believe, and though the lettering of "prosperity" is pretty faint, the dog is very radiant gold!

3 1/4” x 2 1/2” x 11/16 and in good condition, tin opens easily and closes tight.
