Red Stained Wooden Slide Top Box with Dovetail Corners marbell and a terrifically proud roosterI'm always on the hunt for good boxes, especially unfussy old wooden ones, and I've gotten pretty choosy! This is lovely vintage slide top box with dovetailed corners and a reddish stain. It opens with ease, is in great overall condition, and is stamped on the bottom Made in France. 8 3 4x5 1 8 x 3 1 2.
