A table box of desirable small proportions with the date 1666 carved in roundels, a significant date in British history as it was the year of the great fire of London. The top has the Initials IB also in roundels. at this period I and J were both written as I so it is possibly JB. the box is in oak and has a good honest surface patina. The original pin hinges must have failed early in its life as they were replaced with iron bracket hinges, the hasp has been lost to time.
