Vtg Display Box: Mandeville & King Co Flower Seed Wood Box w/Dovetail Corners

Description

Vtg Display Box: Mandeville & King Co Flower Seed Wood Box, Dovetailed. Box approx 12 x 5.5 x 3.25 in tall. Metal clasp is missing the small knob so does not close securely.  Box needs to be cleaned/plolished.  Some scratches and wear mainly to bottom edges.  Hinged lid does not stay upright when opened.  I see no evidence of having once had that sliding metal piece in the corner that helps hold the lid up.  Does not appear to have had been made with that.  The label shows wear and some missing top ply of paper.  Top right corner and left top corner torn and showing wood.  It looks like someone had lined it with felt or some material and then took the material out as you can see the puffs of white and glue dots. No cracks in wood noted.  I have a seed box with seed packets in it and I get so many offers to buy it!  Please see photos.  Selling as is.
