    Such a neat piece even though it is missing the handle.
    A jewel case made by the Toronto Silverplate Co, circa late 1800s. You would push on the top of the handle and the drawer would slide open. The last photo is a catalogue page from 1889.

      Beautiful, what does the fox say about those grapes ? I remember buying a lot of similar craft feet like yours, but no where near the quality of yours. This piece just needs a red satin interior !

      Thanks PhilDMorris!
      I'm not sure about the fox and grapes - someone thought from the tale 'The Fox and the Bitter Grapes'
      Yes, a red satin lining would really set this off!

      What a curious and beautiful piece!
      The system is stunning and without the catalog picture, I wouldn't know his use!
