Beautiful signed C. F. Monroe Wave Crest brass hinged box with a handsome puffy shape with floral pattern and enamel decoration.
It is signed Wave Crest on the bottom.
Measuring an impressive about 3 1/4” in diameter and 3 1/4” tall, the original hinge is very tight.
There are no cracks, chips, hairline or repairs.
As you can tell by the photos, there is no satin on the interior and we cannot see any traces of any.
