135: A COLLECTION OF 19TH CENTURY STACKED PANTRY BOXES

The collection of five round bentwood pantry boxes in graduated sizes, each in old paint constructed with straight seams, iron tacks and wood pegs. The smallest in old green milk paint over blue, the next in red stain, the middle box in nice old, perhaps original, green paint with dry surface, an example in later black paint and the best for last: a large box in old, possibly original, dark green paint with nice dry surface, yellow decoration on the lid and impressed block letters of 'C.S. Stone' on the lid.
Sizes range from 4.5 x 9 to 2.5 x 5.25 inches.
Very good condition throughout, no damage, repair or heavy wear.
