Complete with a working lock and taselled key. Dating to around 1890 / 1900, late Victorian or early Edwardian in era, it remains in excellent condition, measuring 9 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 4" tall. T is an old age / grain hairline from one of the cut-outs to the edge, quite normal and insignificant but mentioned and photographed for accuracy. Worldwide insured airmail included.
