PRE-SALE SALE KENNEL COLLECTION WORLD'S COLUMBIAN METAL PIN OR TRINKET BOX #1245

Description

I am very partial to this 3 1/2 inch long very solid small box from the Columbian Expo. I have had an identical one on my desk for at least 30 years. In that time I've only had 2 others which I sold. The small legs don't show in the photos but they're about the size of a pea, made out of solid metal. You can see on the inside of the lid that it is stamped quadruple silver plate.
I thought seriously about not selling this piece as it is in almost perfect condition; but I am supposed to be SELLING not buying my own inventory. It is a tough one to find; the last one I saw looked great at first glance but was missing ONE small foot which I'm sure would ultimately be annoying for someone if they planned to use it; if it was just to sit on a shelf of Columbiana I'm sure it was fine.
But, it's here for the bidding, or using the Buy it Now option which I believe is a bargain for this piece.
