TOTALLY DIVINE AND EXTREMELY RARE - NEEDLER'S CHOCOLATE BOX, MADE IN HULL, ENGLAND, UK.  DECORATED WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK OF A FLAPPER GIRL, BY THE RENOWNED AMERICAN ARTIST F. EARL CHRISTY.  IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME PARTICULARLY WELL, IS A HEAVY, WELL MADE CARDBOARD ITEM AND LOOKS TO BE FROM THE MAGNIFICENT ART DECO AGE.

It measures 35 cm tall, is 27.5 cm across and is 3.5 cm deep.  Could used for storing jewellery, trinkets or even paperwork or magazines, although I personally think it should be stood upright on a plinth, against a wall for all to admire!  What an excellent talking point.

Please Note:   For complete accuracy, there are markings on the artwork, as clearly identified in a number of the above photographs, however this does not detract and is to be expected due its vintage age.  Also, one of the corners has split (as shown clearly in the fourth photograph).

Having purchased many items myself from Ebay over the years, I know only too well how disappointing and upsetting it can be if your item arrives in a poor state due to the seller's failure to identify any defects, or due to their inadequate packaging.  Therefore I always believe in being completely honest as I want my buyers to be happy with their purchases!

****    An incredibly scarce and desirable vintage item.    ****

PLEASE DO SEND ME A MESSAGE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING.

**** Stored carefully in a clean, smoke-free and pet-free home. ****

OVERSEAS BUYERS ARE MOST WELCOME, HOWEVER I CAN ONLY ACCEPT YOUR FULL PAYMENT IN UK STERLING (GBP) VIA PAYPAL AND YOUR FULL PAYMENT MUST BE MADE IMMEDIATELY PLEASE.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

A Short History about the Artist F. Earl Christy, 1883 Philadelphia - 1961 Freeport, NY. 

Christy studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and his father, William, subsidized his early career as a commercial illustrator (1905-1906).  Christy practically invented the illustrated image of the 'All-American Girl'.  His early works glorified the society college girl - always beautifully dressed at football games, golf and tennis tournaments, riding in automobiles or playing instruments.  His first College Girl postcard series was published in 1905 by the U.S.S. Postcard Company.  His work can be found on the covers of vintage magazines like Photoplay, Modern Screen, Pictorial Review, Popular Songs, Radio Stars, Screen Album, Screen Romances, and Shadowplay.
