I wish I were better at identifying woods--the wood in this case a dense, straight grained hardwood of quite a beautiful ashy light brown-gray. And a bit unusual--opening via a flat, perfectly fitted slide lid on one side, which almost disappears when closed. With two slightly different sized interior compartments. All carved out from one piece of wood.  Late 19th\/early 20th c. American I believe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 3\/16\" x 2 1\/2\" x 1 1\/2\". General light wear, a bit of roughness\/very minor loss along the edge of the slide where it meets spine of the book, and a bit of very old wear\/minor loss to one raised band on the spine--all as detailed, and none I think detracting. Sturdy and sound. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48643573350654,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_1764_dfe7b707-7618-415a-91a0-582626cea3c0.jpg?v=1784935242","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/beautiful-spare-two-compartment-19th-century-book-shaped-box-carved-from-one-piece-of-wood-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
