Beautiful Patina that can only be achieved with age on the Walnut box and the Sterling Overlay.

The Sterling appears as if it is brass. A couple of small areas where cleaned to see if they were brass or sterling as what is on the inner boxes. Superb patina makes this appear as if brass for it is Edged Sterling Overlay.

The Sterling wraps across the back and onto the box on the two outer pieces. The center piece wraps from the front lock to the top center back. There is a working lock but no key. Two back hinges in perfect working order.

There are approximately 100 game counters in 3 different colors and shapes. The colors are red, green, yellow, and purple. There are smaller rectangular pieces, larger longer ones, and round chips. They are all in very good to excellent condition without chips or cracks.

The large box is 10 3/4" wide by 6" deep. The four inner boxes are 3 3/8" wide by 2 3/4" deep. Excellent quality with each box having a definite fit. Each suit is represented with Sterling in lay on the top of the boxes. The inner boxes and main box are in excellent condition.

The large box has some small chip areas of missing veneer. The front has a stable hairline across the left bottom area. None of these affect the beauty of this piece. All these areas could be fixed with a little labor and love.
