A novelty item manufactured in the shape of a coal scuttle.
The front is decorated with cherubs and is marked with the lion and the Walker & Hall makers mark.
The reverse is fully marked for Sheffield 1905 and a Rdg no 430769

Inside the box is fully lined in velvet with ring slots. Would be most appropriate for an engagement and wedding ring. There are signs of wear to the velvet commensurate with age.
Overall the box is in very good condition, it opens and shuts very well some wear to the angels.
