French, early 19th century, a horn box with friction fit lid, with a gilt, stamped medallion of Washington in profile under convex glass. The bezel is intact but the glass covering the medallion is cracked at 5 o'clock. The crack is stable. The inside of the bottom container is lined with dark tortoise shell. The overall appearance is impressive. This is a very difficult item to find and is considered scarce. This design has not auction in traditional political auction in many years. The medallion is loose from the top but easily secured. Recently on esold for $1500 (no crack and secure lid).
