In Very good condition the box is without holes, splits, damages or repairs, has a pleasing aged patination and retains a firm fitting to the lid and body with a smith hinged movement to the spine.

The inside lip to the box is impressed with good clear markings indicating Chester Assay office circa 1902 with the importers mark for Samuel Boyce of Campden Square, London, also present is the Foreign import mark, the piece no doubt being Dutch export.
