1800s antique WOOD BOX w HANDLE black paint TOOL CADY CARPENTER early folk art
This is such an awesome original 19th century handmade carryall. Nice and large, measures approx 13x15 across the top and the tray is 5" high, total is 7.5".
Purchased at a local Chester County PA sale.
The wood is aged, superb appearance for age.
It is painted black, not a recent paint, but maybe later than when originally made as the paint covers some wood flaws which were likely created from wear.
Heavy wood measures almost 1/2" thick and thicker in the center section.
Versatile, awesome.
