Item Details

Description

Ticking Watch Box. European, ca. 1870s. A borrowed watch is locked inside the beautifully crafted mahogany box, cloth-lined and bearing a mirror on the inside lid. The box is left on a table and continues to tick as if the watch is inside, but when reopened the timepiece has completely vanished. Mechanism engraved illegibly by the manufacturer and dated 1868; in need of restoration but complete with shim, winding key, and locking key. Mirror prone to fall out of position. Cosmetically fine condition with minor chipping at lower front edge.
