Here is a terrific older rectangular pewter box (formerly for cigarettes--or a vanity, perhaps?) lined with a beautifully shiny burled wood veneer. It is topped with two different gold-dipped or painted pewter penguins (under the glitter). The box is exquisite and definitely reminiscent of more elegant times. Even the underside is extraordinary, having a textured pebbly covering. Right in the middle of the underside are the markings "J.B." The box is in excellent condition with just a few scuffs, particularly on one corner. None take away anything from this fabulous box though. It would make a grand unisex jewelry box, especially for cuff links, earrings, rings, keys, etc. It opens silently and smoothly. The penguins atop it have been sold as figurines on their own, which is how we can verify they are pewter. The box is a rare piece, measuring 6"x 3 3/4" x 2", so if you like unique Deco items, or penguins, don't miss out on this very rare work of art, a truly fine feathered friend--and a fabulous find if you need an unusual gift! The photos don't do it justice.

We readily accept reasonable offers, reasonable meaning you will save some money; we will make some money; and we will both be delighted!

Google Checkout vs paypal: We believe Google Checkout is the best and fastest option for debit and credit card payments. We have found paypal's policies often cause us to delay shipments so we no longer accept paypal except under special circumstances and for international buyers.

Insurance is NOT included for items shipped free. If you want insurance, please email us BEFORE you pay so we can adjust the amount of payment. Insurance is included in our fixed price shipping except for books, CDs, and albums, which are shipped via USPS Media Mail. If you do not want insurance, please email us BEFORE you check out so we can adjust your total. We recommend insurance to safeguard your purchase(s) from loss or damage. While we pack exceedingly well, we are not responsible for any loss or damage incurred once we have posted a package.

ERRORS, OMISSIONS AND RETURNS: We make every effort to accurately describe the items in our booth. Since we are not experts, once in a while we will leave something out or err in a description. Please let us know. We will make every attempt to resolve a problem to your satisfaction. In most cases, if you are unhappy with an item, let us know and return it within 10 business days from the shipping date on the package.
