Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The interior is totally original and is signed by the retailer, Steele & Co / Birmingham. The inside of the lid is lined in deep red silk, with a pocket. There is a fully fitted removable tray which incorporates to sections for rings (to house about three each) and a central section which originally would be used to store a pocket watch, now perfect for a bracelet or similar.
Alas, no key.
