Antique Lidded Salt Box Late 19th -Early 20th Century Hand Lettered ~Nice Patina:
$50.00


Description:Here is a VERY nice original salt box from an 18 th Century farmhouse in Marlow, New Hampshire. Based on the style and construction I believe it to be from the late 19th or early 20th Century. The elderly woman who sold it said it had hung on the wall all her life but said no one in her family ever mentioned it as it was just a piece of working furniture that you’d find in any old house up here. The box measures about 6\" long x 4 1/2” wide x 6 1/2\" deep at the top of the sloped lid and 10\" tall to the top of the hanging tongue.It has some great features remaining on it including the thumb and forefinger wear where it was opened and closed by generations of fingers. It also has SALT hand written on it. It shows along the bottom edge where the salt worked its way into the wood over the years and reacted with the iron nails. Not only is the color and patina first rate but you can see in my pictures. Please look at all the photos to judge color and condition for yourself.I sell quite a few candle and salt boxes and this is one of the best examples that I have come across this past year. It looks, sounds, feels, smells and yes, even tastes old.

Keep Coming back to see what the relicseeker has to offer. I travel all around New Hampshire, Vermont, and Northern Massachusetts scouting out places for hidden gems. I have a good eye for what people want and there are plenty of places for me to ferret out antiques and collectible from yesterday and a few gems that will become the antiques of tomorrow.

I try to take detailed pictures of my items but cannot capture every detail. I am not a collector of these items. I often get pieces in box lots with items I do collect and then sell off the other treasures I find to those who will surely appreciate them. All sales are final and \"as is, as seen\" unless you receive an item that was not in the pictures in this listing.

Shipping: I take great care in wrapping fragile items and have enjoyed great success. I will only ship items under 4lbs. overseas as they can go by First Class Mail as the USPS has discontinued Overseas Parcel Post.


I have been selling on for over a decade and try to be fair in all deals. I use this user ID to buy and sell hobby collectibles only because I find it an enjoyable pastime.
