For sale is an EXCEPTIONALLY NICE EARLY 19th century American oval shape Pantry bentwood Box with all Original surface. You can see that it is constructed using irregular shaped hand wrought nails and square copper nails.

The bentwood is very thick and well made. The wood grain in use is exceptionally beautiful, possible beech or certain type of maple. This box displays the distinctive Hingham boxes characteristics of opposing "finger bands" on the lid and body, with iron tacks and a maker's mark B.
