[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2824296, member: 5066"]An unusually small ( 10-1/2" wide X 7-1/2" deep X 6" high) desk box is up for grabs at Bonhams in Oxford UK this month in their "The Oak Interior" sale. It's a boarded oak, pine and painted box with a red painted interior with a rear till and carved on all 4 sides with floral strapwork. Circa 1670, reputedly purchased from a house in Boston Mass. Although this box is believed to originate from America, it may also be a 'prototype' from Devon England.
