We were lucky enough to purchase this from a 1920s haberdashery shop that was closing down. These type of counter lever boxes are very rare and are beautifully made. It has three sections, a glass top and a counter lever system, which still works beautifully. It is in very nice original condition, with intact gold lettering. This of course was originally made to hold cotton, but is ideal for antique watches, glasses, pens, jewellery, and more.
