ALL BUYERS ... you will only pay the TRACKED shipping ONCE if you WAIT for my COMBINED INVOICE if its a similar weight and destination.
Here is 1 of only a small handful of c1790 Bilston / Battersea enamel patch - pill - trinket boxes I have been fortunate to buy recently. This oval box has a dark navy base ..its slightly pinched in on the design as in not straight up and down sides. With wear marks on the base of course...... the inside is white enamel with cracks too. The underside mirror is in lovely condition. The lid is a white ground and has a black picture of the Sunderland Bridge title and smaller wording around the bottom half Span 236 feet Height 100 Ft. This box has a base metal frame which hinges fine. This box has had restoration on the top lid at both ends.. difficult to see without a loope as its very good....cracked too.... the base is cracked as well of course. I have put a slightly cheaper price tag on this one due to the restoration.. but a RARE patch box to find in any condition. The box is 1 and 3/4 inch long x just over 1 and 1/2 inch wide x 1 inch deep. Please COMPARE this box to the others I am selling and compare them with other known items such as the Sunderland Lustre jugs and mugs as well as the etched - engraved glassware. Enamel patch & pill boxes are rare at the best of time with this SUNDERLAND BRIDGE on them. Far rarer than the Sunderland Lustre jugs, bowls and mugs and the glass ware of the period too ... we see plenty of etched and engraved Sunderland Bridge related ones.. but these boxes .. you do not see them ... check out my other listings and you will see 7 different examples of this box... slight differences in the design, colour, wording all of which are VERY RARE. Just because I have 7 different examples does not mean these are common... far from it... the last collector spent 50 years collecting these 7 boxes.. so please be aware of that.
