    Description

    This antique trinket box is cleverly designed with its opening mechanism. By pushing back the handle, the drawer rolls out on a center wheel support. The box is listed as Quadruple Plate, which indicates only a very thin layer of silver covers a nickel base. A close look at the markings on the bottom of this item reveal the company who manufactured it, its composition, as well as a #16 Hand White Metal stamp and the term Paten w/ the name Ted #50. The #50 is also stamped on the backside bottom. This is a very ornate piece of quadruple plate art. Research on this piece suggests that it may also be a sugar casket. Sadly, the female figure with her basket is missing, which explains the two holes on the lid.(See Pic #7) The lady appears to be of Black ancestry.
