highlight major points. The majority of our boxes are over one hundred years
old. They are not new and may have antique marks, tiny missing pieces slight
misalignment or shrinkage imperfections, and will have shown signs of fatigue.
Its all normal for the age of any historic box. We try to restore to a good
order but can not list every single mark. If you are unsure in any way before
purchase please contact us for more information. we are only to pleased to
offer help.
