Old tole metal box, made salt box style, with sloping hinged cover. This is so pretty, with eyelet 'lace' edge, and handpainted floral on white.
It's 7 1/2" tall at the back, and 6" deep front edge to back. It's not marked at all that we could see, though we expected to find a Decoware or Ransburg marking!
The hinged lid opens and closes easily, without stiffness. Inside and out are nice and clean, though there's wear to the painted finish.
