Bramah Lock ~ 2 Drawers ~ Shabby Chic Condition!

In this sale we have a handsome antique English walnut burl locking humidor with a Bramah brass lock fixture, (we estimate) from the early 1800\'s. Marked along the top of the lock \"BRAMAH / LONDON\", brass handles along the sides, locking swing open doors along the front that reveal the two pull out drawers on the interior. There is a monogrammed brass tag along the top \"FD / 96th Reg\", and the box is also trimmed in brass. Measuring approx. 9-1/2\" tall by 11-3/4\" wide and 9\" deep, we are calling it shabby chic due to the stress lines along both doors with visible breaks along both ends, wear that would commensurate with the age and use of the box, some losses along the base and the lock is difficult to open, but it does work! There are dividers included with the box, be sure to scroll through all our photos to capture all the details. An early English humidor and the perfect addition to your collection! GOOD LUCK!

Joseph Bramah started out by training as a cabinet maker. In 1784, after attending some lectures on lock making, he patented his first lock and in the same year set up the Bramah Locks Company at 124 Piccadilly, London.

Joseph Bramah was a true inventor in every sense of the word and patented other very notable inventions like an improved flushing toilet, bank note printing press, and a hydraulic press to name but a few. His locks were renowned to be un-pickable and tamper proof. Joseph Bramah even created what he called the ‘Challenge Lock’, displaying it in his shop window from 1790 with the notice: The artist who can make an instrument that will pick or open this lock shall receive 200 guineas the moment it is produced. Amazingly, no one was able to answer this challenge for over 60 years, until 1851, at the Great Exhibition. American locksmith Alfred Charles Hobbs took 51 hours, spread over 16 days to open the lock and even then there was some dispute over the issue. That said, he was still awarded the prize money.

Joseph Bramah died in 1814, a year after his son Timothy had joined the business and the name had changed to Bramah & Son. Around the early 1820’s, Joseph’s other two sons, Francis and Edward, also became partners in the business, now called Bramah & Sons. They were to be later joined by Joesph’s nephew, John Joseph Bramah.

By 1871, Bramah & Sons was in the ownership of J.T Needs & Co of 128 Piccadilly, London. In 1901, J.T Needs was bought out by the Whitfield Safe & Lock Company, and three years later the name was officially changed back to Bramah & Co, which still continues as a locksmith company to this day.

We are Trading Assistants - We call sell items for you!

is all we do for a living, husband and wife (Norb & Marie) working together, while we home school our kids on our farmette in Rural Delmarva. We have worked very hard to build our little business and it is very important to us. We try and do business the old fashioned way and have a rather simple outlook.

Treat all of your customers as if they are family.

Be courteous, answer e-mails, be fair in all your dealings and try and make friends of each and every customer.

However, with \'s new star rating and the rate increases in the U.S. Postal rates we needed to define and explain our methods of business.

ONE - Who We Deal With

We sell and ship world wide to anywhere, so please email us for a quote to wherever you happen to be.

TWO - Shipping Charges

We charge shipping based on the USPS system, we will sometimes ship via courier if we can get it to you within the same time frame or faster. We add a reasonable cost for materials and handling. Our materials cost is based on exactly what it has cost us to wrap similar sized items in the past. We realize that almost everything we sell is valuable to you and there is nothing worse than having something break in its final journey to your hands. We do our best to pack properly and use the correct materials to protect your win. If we are able to get the item to you for less than our quote we will refund the difference to you!

For oversized items or items that will take special attention to package, (building a crate, wrapping many small items individually, etc.), we ask you to email us for a quote on shipping prior to the sale ending. If you do not, we charge the same amount as if you did.

THREE - International Shipping

We charge shipping based on the USPS international system. The rates follow the same guidelines as number two above, though for international customers we add an additional $1.00 to cover the extra paperwork involved in international shipping. If an amount goes over $50 in value we will only ship it with Priority or Express Mail, regardless how small an item. That allows for us to have international tracking. There is no tracking available on First Class Mail.

FOUR - Insurance

\'s policies no longer allows us to charge the client for insurance. But... we still apply insurance to any item that goes over $27.00 in value. We reserve the right to use the insurance carrier of our choice. Sometimes that is Postal or the Carrier\'s Insurance and sometimes that is a private insurance company such as DSI or U-PIC/Shipsurance. If we use a private insurance company the package will not be marked insured, but it will be.

FIVE - Methods of Payment Accepted

We aoffere by \'s rules and try and stay abreast of their changes. We accept Paypal. Paypal also accepts the major credit cards, or we also take Credit Cards Directly over the phone, (MC, VISA, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS, CARTE BLANCHE, DINERS CLUB, JCB) Bottom line, whatever method is most convenient for you.

SIX - Time Frame To Pay

We ask all sales to be paid for in the fastest possible time frame. (This is all we do for a living and we need the money to pay the bills and buy more unique and fun items to put up on )

SEVEN - Shipping Time Frame

We make every effort to ship in a timely manner. We are home schooling the boys, listing tons of items, and as like any of us are just plain swamped, so we have to schedule a special time to pack and ship. We ship on a first paid, first shipped basis. (We do not ship any item until it has been paid and the funds have cleared.) With the ebb and flow of payments we manage to get everything out of the door within one week. If there is a rush, we will make every effort to work with you in getting it out of the door faster. As you can see from our response, we do not disappoint. OF COURSE, items that need special attention, crating, etc adds to the time frame of those items.

EIGHT - Local Pickup

Sometimes it makes sense to come by and pickup your items. Sometimes an item is just too big for any other option. If you\'ve arranged local pickup with us, you must pickup the item within 30 days otherwise it will be subject to storage fees or relisting.

NINE - Communication

Please feel free to contact us at anytime, with any question or comment. Unless we are out of town we make an effort to answer all emails as quickly as possible.
