19th. century Tole Painted, Tin Tinder Box

I am always attracted to tinder boxes and this one was one that really caught my attention. Made of tin, paint black with a delicate tole painted design around the perimeter of the box. Lower the latch to open the box that reveals all that is necessary to start a fire. There is a striker, Tow, flint and even a little candle holder attached to the tamper. What is so wonderful is the little box inside the larger box. This box is painted Black as well and has the same delicate tole painting. This box is used to store tow so as to keep it dry. The fact that the two boxes have stayed together all these years just adds to the charm. The tinder box measures 4 1/2 x 3 x 3 1/4 inches. Circa mid 19th. century. Excellent condition. Price: $750.00 + shipping
