here is a wonderful antique set, now this is exactly how I got it we didnt touch it , so I dont know what if anything is original in the box, the box is early probably 1900 ish I would say, there is a key and it works , the box has some fine inlay, I believe its walnut, its solid, the chips look old they probably are original but it would be dishonest for me to say I am certain, there are navy cards in there again I didnt add them thats how we got them , this would be a wonderful gift for someone super cool !
