Previous owner scratched "Bill Cooper + MS " on the wood inside the box... how sweet.
measures approx 8.25" x 5.5" x 2.5". A nice box for a hall table to catch keys , wallet or ? Or use it on a coffeetable for the remotes and phone chargers, or a trinket or jewelry box.
It has a ding on the right corner but it does not affect the mechanical movement of the lid. I did not polish the silver which has a patina of age associated with and common to silver or silver plate (this is silverplate).
