| *From the TOP, a 19th C. tiny little round pantry box that is perfect for the top of the stack. It measures a mere 2-1/4 inches in diameter and is 1 inch high. These tiny containers, both round and oval are known as pillboxes, although they were used for many items besides medicine. The color is a Windsor Green that has blackened with age. The condition is excellent with no apologies.

Lets take a look at the tops. I'm happy to provide more pictures of the individual boxes. 
*All are 19th Century Pantry Boxes in old, dry, first paint with one exception. All are in absolutely excellent condition except as noted. Any sheen you may see is the result of the flash. | *SECOND we have a box with quite a paint history, having been painted several times over the years. Pumpkin over green and possibly white or grey at one time. Opposing laps fastened with copper tacks, Nice crusty surface. 3-1/2" diameter.
R08H03795 * FOURTH, we have a 19th century Brick Red Pantry Box, 6-1/2" in diameter and 3" high. It appears to have been used as a dresser box as one can still smell what reminds me of powder on the inside. The sides are maple and the top and bottom are pine. Straight lapped construction, fastened with copper tacks and wooden pegs. (There are a couple newer nails to replace pegs that have fallen out.) There is a teeny chip on the lap on the cover.
