Another fantastic find from the hidden in the attic stash. The box is made of wood painted gold. The top has the picture of a woman looking in a mirror which actually looks like black and gold painted on a mirror.
Inside the lid is a mirror and also the inside base is a mirror. It has a wood divider piece inside making two seperate sections. I think it is from the early 1900's or maybe even prior to that.
