It is very subtle, but at the center of the lid on this lovely box is carefully pinpricked the year 1906 and the name F.E. Dean I love that it is barely discernible, almost like a secret, with an incised border and gridded decoration at the corners, too. A very handy box as well, good for pens and pencils and all manner of small things, with a divider that can be removed as needed.
11 x 3 5/8” x 2 3/8” t and in very good condition, with hinges well attached, opening and closing smoothly.
