    Description

    Please examine photos. They are THIS item and are part of the description. I do not use stock photos or photos of other people’s items.
    This is a late 19th century Etrog Box signed/marked by the maker S. Handelsman, active Warsaw 1875-1897. In addition to his oval makers mark there is an impressed 8 and clover mark. There are slight vestiges of silver plating inside the lid. It appears the rest was removed professionally long ago, leaving it all over brass. It is decorated with an engine turned wave design. There is a shield on top. It has four winged feet. Intended to protect and keep kosher the etrog citron during sukkoh it originally had a lock. The key hole and tongue remain but the lock box mechanism is gone. It is 5" by 3 1/2" by 3 1/2". Weight is over a pound.
