Description
Treen box measures about 2 1/4" diameter. Split on top with L.B.T. monogram. Also split in ring on inside of case. Made in Nuremberg around 1790. Ernest Stockert (1730-1806), was an 18th Century instrument maker and this is signed on the floating card in the middle. At one time this card had a tiny brass cap so it rested on the pin coming up from the bottom. Also the instrument had a glass dome over it. All of the paper is hand colored. Brass gnomon. Please see pictures for further details and message me with any questions.
