Old Dark Wood Latched Bits Box for the dining table inside of the copper handleThis gorgeous old wooden box was, I believe, made to hold drill bits, or perhaps old letter (type) stamps. Now, it would lend itself to a bunch of different creative uses, including sitting open on a desk holding pencils or pens, or just sitting closed, looking fabulous! It is in great vintage condition with a lovely patina, and measures 6. 5"x 2. 75"x3. 5.
