AMERICAN BISCUIT & MFG CO. NEW YORK ADVERTISING BOX CRATE W/ PARROT 19TH C

Description: American Biscuit & MFG CO. New York box Crate for delivery. Between 1885-8 and the 1890s, American Biscuit and Nabisco consolidated.Thus, this box most likely was mid-19th C. There is advertising on the inside of the top that opens and in the front of the box as well and on the side.The advertising on the top is as expected, authentic antique condition. But there is almost no loss to the advertisement except at the edges. The colors of the stunning, well designed parrot, who is a bit whimsical, has all of his colors, some still vibrant! The front label has more paper loss the top and is less preserved.The paper loss is around the outside moving in about 2-3 inches with small areas towards the center. This is from being exposed to the outside. Still, it has all its color, albeit a bit less vibrant than the top inside version.There is strong colors of deep navy blue on the lettering and all the colors on that Parrot !! As it has its original hardware, the lid is fragile and one most not open it too fast. The piece, as an authentic, wooden antique is fragile but in good condition with no holes, cracks nor missing wood. Rare to find a piece of Americana like this unique antique advertising delivery box.! The dimensions: 23x14x10.5 It is rather a 'large' size as it was a delivery box for what seems short distances SHIPPING PRICES REFLECT THE CARE OF HAVING IT PACKED BY UPS AND ITS HEAVY WEIGHT WHICH IS CORRECT FOR A TRUE EARLY 19THC CONFIT POT.
