19th C. Tin Book Shaped Box in Original Paint relief carved panel so finely woven of bearSmall, and rare, this tole (painted tin) book shaped box is still holding onto some of its original red paint on the covers and spine and yellow orange on the pages.

Aged, as evident, with just a little separation
