Primitive Shaker Curly Maple Wooden Spice Box With Jars Picture(s) and Description:

Here is a fantistic primitive spice box, with 8 spice canisters, for your consideration. The box and canisters are wood (curly maple), and have metal bands on the top and bottom. The box measures 9 1/2'' x 3 3/4''. The pepper canister measures 3 1/4'' x 3 1/4'', and the other 7 canisters measure 3'' x 2 1/2''. I believe these are from the same company, and 5 of the canisters still have part or all of their signature on the bottoms. They are from Patent Package Co., Newark, NJ, and dated 1858. The cover on the Ginger canister is metal, which does not match the others. Two of the other covers fit, but are a little loose. The other five fit snugly. I believe the wood shrunk on the bottom of the box, because it has pulled loose from the metal band (please see pictures). It still is very sturdy, and houses these canisters nicely. Overall, I would consider these to be in very nice shape, for being over 150 years old. I have used up all of the allotted photo's to show these in great detail. Please enlarge the photo's to get a better idea of condition. If more photo's are needed, I will be happy to send them directly to you. I do guarantee that these are old and original. I will ship these in the U.S. only, and will be sent Priority Mail, in the large Flat Rate box. If I have missed anything, or if you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks for looking.
