Description

This French Stamp Box would undoubtedly have been made as a tourist piece from Boulogne sur Mer. On the lid there is a woman holding up her fishing net with stylised fish in the sea, seagulls in the air and ships passing by. I believe Boulogne is known for its Mackerel and Herring Fishing. The box is I believe made from celluloid, an early form of plastic and one that was used often in France at the start of the twentieth century for items such as jewellery, purses, and card cases. On opening the lid there are the expected two compartments both slightly shaped making it easier to retrieve your stamps.
*
AGE - Circa 1900

CONDITION - The stamp box is in good condition, with no chips or cracks to the celluloid that I can see. The celluloid has I think darkened with age and along the edges of the box is a little dirty. The hinge is still strong and the lid fits well. The two little compartments for the stamps do look a little dirty and I will leave it to the new owner to decide whether there want to clean the box. On the base there is the faint remnant of what I think was a price label.
