Exceptional early box, measuring 14 3/4" x 9 1/4" x 7 1/8" tall, completely covered in high quality leather, including the original hinge, and finished with a heavy duty stitched leather handle. Extremely well made, with a fold-out compartment in the lid and multiple interior compartments in the base, all cloth covered, except for its original lift-out wooden tray. A brass name plate plaque is affixed with the initials: GWB, the brass latch works well, overall in about Ex- condition due mostly to rubs from one of the front locking hooks, as well as expected minor wear. An inscription is handwritten on the underside "From my wife May 3, 1916", most likely by the original owner. It would be hard to find an antique leather tackle box in much better condition.
