Description: Adorable antique look, crafted, I assume in a small shop as I could not find specific, factual information on D.T. Gutzwiller & Son. It is signed above the stamp that looks like it was done with a customer woodworker's branding iron. The lid hinges open with cotter pin type closures. The box is made of a soft wood as opposed to hardwood because of the indentations on the back of the box from the cotter pins. I assume pine simply because that is so common. Approximate Outside measurements: Across: 4 3/8"Deep front to back: 3 1/4"Height: 2 1/4" front of box 3" back of box 6" to top of the back of the box The joints of the box are all straight so are likely glued and/or stapled. I have only cleaned the exterior of the box with a slightly damp cloth. The inside I have only wiped out with a dry cloth. I am not a woodworker, I buy things because I like them. This much loved piece is as I purchased it at an estate sale. I never used the box for salt or spices. Sadly, I no longer have a spot for this favorite piece and I would love for someone else to enjoy it. All of the photos in all of my listings are of the actual item my buyers will receive. I take great pride in providing you with accurate descriptions and as many photos as possible. A picture is worth a thousand words so please take advantage of both words and photos. If you have questions or would like any clarification, please message me via eBay. I enjoy communication with my customers! Your bid indicates you like what you see! I will accept returns if a significant error in the description were to occur as detailed in the eBay Buyer Protection Policy. Please know my goal is happy, returning customers. I enjoy taking time to examine my items carefully, often under a magnifier, and note any concerns. I enjoy wrapping and packaging every item with the great care and I do not add a handling fee. I use a combination of new and used (always clean!) packing materials. Reusing materials is good for our environment and helps to reduce my cost of packaging materials. eBay will automatically send you an invoice to help you complete your transaction. I will have your package at the Post Office before the end of the business day following your payment. I appreciate payment as quickly as possible upon close of auction to ensure you receive your purchase as quickly as possible. UPDATE APRIL 4, 2024: IMPORTANT SHIPPING UPDATES REGARDING DELIVERY DELAYS WITHIN USPS IN SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. I will have your package at the Post Office on the business day following your payment as stated above. Please understand that once your package has been accepted at the Post Office, USPS is responsible for getting it through their system and delivered to you. At this time I do not see any information on the USPS website. I learned of the shipping delays on an ebay Podcast today and found more info in the online news. Two busy moves in recent years provided a great opportunity to go through all my treasured collectables and unique stuff! Far too much for one lady so I have promised my family that years from now there will be far less to wrap, pack, and move! UPDATE April 4, 2024: After what seems like forever to me, I am now "back at it" with new eBay listings! This is a happy day for me! There is no telling what you will see listed in the coming weeks as I move forward. Please consider adding me to your favorites. I appreciate every sale and Thank You for shopping with me!.....Jeanne
