Nest of Boxes. English [?], ca. 1890. Exceptionally fine set of 12 lathe-turned wooden boxes. A coin vanishes, only to reappear moments later in the smallest of the containers. Smallest box will hold a US nickel or smaller coin. Largest box 3” in diameter. Fine. The quality of the turning of this set is best evidenced by the space between boxes. When nested, there is an almost-airtight seal formed from one box to the next.
