A FANTASTIC OLD COLLECTION OR OFFERTORY BOX WHICH IS MADE FROM SOLID PINE WOOD AND HAS SOME OLD CARVED DETAIL ON THE LID WHICH HAS SMOOTHED AND WORN AWAY WITH AGE SO IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO READ WHAT IT ONCE SAID SO HARD TO KNOW IF IT WAS SOMEONES NAME OR PERHAPS THE NAME OF WHERE IT CAME FROM. WHAT I DO KNOW THOUGH IS THAT THIS IS A VERY OLD BOX THAT I BELIEVE DATES TO AROUND THE EARLY 19th CENTURY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT CAME FROM BUT I AM PRETTY SURE GOING BY THE STYLE OF IT THAT IT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN POSITIONED SOMEWHERE FOR THE COLLECTION AND/ OR OFFERINGS OF MONEY.THIS BOX HAS A VERY OLD, BIG STRONG LOCK AND ALSO A HEFTY KEY TO MATCH WHICH OPERATES WELL AND LOCKS AND UNLOCKS EASILY. WHEN UNLOCKED THIS ALLOWS THE LID OF THE BOX TO BE OPENED TO ACCESS THE MONEY. THE LID IS A GOOD FIT WITH HINGES THAT ARE ALSO STRONG AND SECURE. IT HAS A SMALL BRASS PANEL AT THE FRONT OF THE LID WHICH HAS EITHER BEEN REPLACED OR POLISHED UP AS IT LOOKS QUITE SHINY IN COMPARISON TO THE REST OF THE BOX ALTHOUGH IT IS SUITABLE TO GET ENGRAVED SHOULD YOU WANT TO PERSONALISE THE BOX.ON THE WHOLE THIS BOX IS IN A VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH FAIR WEAR AND TEAR PLUS COMMENSURATE MARKINGS IN KEEPING WITH ITS GREAT AGE AND PAST USE. IT IS SOLID AND WELL MADE WITH HAND CUT DOVETAIL JOINTS ON ALL OF THE CORNERS AND A WONDERFUL COLOUR AND PATINA TO THE WOOD.
