Heavy turned wood and lead lined tobacco jar. Original lid. Miscellaneous Tobacco Round with hooped design. Lid similar with knob to open. Two piece lead insert inside. 135 mm. Late 1880s
Very Good. What a brilliant item. Loads of patina from being handled over many years. Some splits and cracks in the wood. General wear and tear. But overall a superb little antique piece.
