18th C. Leather Document Box

Fabulous 18th C tooled leather document box with original bail handle and lock plate (locking mechanism has been removed). This document box is in great condition for its age, and the condition of the leather is especially remarkable.  The only apologies are a broken leather hinge which is not visible from the ouside and an unattached section of the dust keeper (but it is present and could be reattached). Lined with an article about the history of the Bible. This document box descended within a Massachusetts family for approximately 200 years. Several "granny notes" found inside and one attached to the bottom of the box describe who the box belonged to at different times in its history. Measures 12" X 7" X 4".   $675
