This box is an accessory to an 1897 Singer treadle machine and is stamped Patented February 19 1889 on the top. Some of the accessories inside are clipped to little numbered metal placements. It appears to have the majority of its original accessories and possibly an extra piece that wasn't originally included. I say this because I don't know exactly how everything clips on. I can not say with certainty but I believe it to be mostly complete. The felt lining is in good condition but a little loose at each end, about a centimeter, and could be easily secured if desired.  I hope I have included enough pictures for you to see the nice craftsmanship and condition of the box.  It's very pretty how it folds together and closes with a clip hing inside. It does not have any major wear or damage after over 110 years!  But it is used, with a few scratches and marks. It looks quite nice overall. Please contact me if you would like more detail. This is a 7 day auction.  Payment, Shipping, Insurance: Priorty Flat Rate Box or UPS shipping.  Insurance is not required but recommended.  If you do choose to insure this item during shipment the cost will be in addition to your calculated shipping cost and combined - based on the final sale price. I can accept PayPal, Personal Check, or United States Postal Money Order payments.   Thank you for looking!   Place a Bid!
