Description: THIS IS A ( WOODEN ) TREEN HANGING SALT BOX IN ALL ORIGINAL FINISH . IT IS EARLY AMERICAN DATING TO EARLY TO MID 1800's THESE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND . THIS SALT BOX IS BEAUTIFULLY HAND CRAFTED AND HAS A LOVELY PATINA. THE BOX HAS AN OGEE BULBUS SHAPE. THE HINGED LID IS ROUND AND ALSO MADE OF WOOD. THE BOX HAS A HIGH ROUND DISC "BACK" WHICH FOR SAFEY HANGING ON THE WALL. THIS WONDERFUL BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. MEASURES 10 1/2" HIGH (AT BACK), 6 1/4" FROM THE BASE TO TOP OF LID AND HAS A 4 3/8" DIAMETER BASE . THE WOOD IS 1/4" THICK. IT HAS A TIN SCOOP IN IT THAT HAS BEEN WITH IT WHEN I ACQUIRED IT YEARS AGO. I AM NOT SURE HOW OLD IT IS OR IF IT WAS ORIGINAL.. IT DOES MAKE SENSE THAT THEY CONTINUE ON TOGETHER. SALT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE ALL TYPES OF FISH AND MEATS back before refrigeration. This wooden Box would have had a prominent spot and been used often... This was from a lovely Wethersfield, Connecticut estate and I have owned it for decades . Please do any background research to feel confident in this item. I feel confident I have represented this item correctly as I new the former owner and she passed on the information ..and was knowledgable on her fine antiques. Please see our other auctions for more great items.. and thank You for looking...
