Description: Antique Pewter Box Tombstone Shaped with Hinged Lid Marked I*BANKS For Your Box Collection - TombStonePewter1 Details Description: A beautiful antique, hand crafted pewter box in the shape of a tombstone. The box has a hinged lid and a loop attached to its flat end. It is unclear to us what the box was used for. The loop suggest that it would be a hanging box with its rounded end facing the floor. It is also possible that the loop was used to hang the box on someone's belt, you be the judge. Be that as it may , the box is marked on the inside with raised letters "I*BANKS" with the "S" facing back. This appears to be a maker's mark. It is also engraved on the AE 1826 on the back. The box has acquired a nice and warm gray patina with age and really looks great. This is a rather unusual box of uncommon shape that is very well mad. A true antique of the highest quality worthy of a spot in your collection of antique boxes. Please carefully review the photos as they are part and parcel of our description.
