Description

Hello. Thank you for visiting. This listing is for a antique (approx. 1850’s or 1860’s), silver colored metal, probably pewter, jewelry box with full wrap around design of plants and leaves and a very striking bird figure handle. On the top is also the figure of a small bee. The interior compartment is lined with an elegant shade of purple cloth. There is a maker’s mark stamped on the bottom by Meriden Britannia Company with the number “50” and their scales image. Also, someone has hand engraved the number”56” on the bottom as well. The box is a bit tarnished and shows some wear around the top but is otherwise in very good condition for its age. From a Google search: Meriden Brittania Co. founded 1852, acquired the Rogers Bros. Mfg. Co. in 1862, became a subsidiary of International Silver Co. in 1898. Meriden, CT USA
