Up for grabs is a 1908 E Howard Watch Company box. Box only, no Watch. Gold writing on the name and gold stitching of "Howard" on the inside.
This is a must-have for any watch collectors or anyone who collects antiques.
I tool a neodymium magnet to the back hinge and it stuck to it, however the neodymium magnet didn't stick to the push button opening. This pre-dates the law where all gold had to be marked with the purity so the front push button open can be gold. It does look like gold and has that shine got has (See last picture)
I found a box of the same size and it was dated 1908 and the Watch (which was gold) was $40! If we covert inflation, that Watch would cost $1349.24 in today's dollars! WOW!
The boxes exterior is in almost pristine condition, one of the best on e-bay, as seen in the pictures.
I'm going to list this box to what I can find on the internet and it's worth. I am open to offers but no low ballers as this box survived so well in this condition for being 116 YEARS OLD!
I put shipping down as $5. Usually all my items ship free but this will be insured when purchased just to help out on cost (shipping with insurance is usually anywhere from $10-15.
Buy with confidence!!
