| I am always pleased to get these enamel boxes with the sampson "x" mark, because they are always legitimate. They are mid-Nineteenth Century copies of Eighteenth Century boxes, and 150 years old themselves. This one is in very good shape for a larger box 2" high, 3 1/4" Wide, and 2 1/2" deep - but there are always some issues with these, fragile items that they are. There is some crazing visible on the sides, none on the bottom and some on the lid with one contusion visible on both sides. But generally, an A- as these go. Manufactured by the Sampson Factory, France, mid Nineteenth Century. My apologies for the dark smudges - dirt that shows up on the photos that has since been cleaned off. | |||||||||
