Wallpaper covered pin cushion top box.  The box is heavy pasteboard with a blue and brown floral pattern on a tan base.  There is a small area of loss on one end where early newspaper can be seen under the wallpaper.  The original fabric is a red and tan woven plaid.  There are areas where the under-layer of linen can be seen.   The pin cushion top feels like it is stuffed with horsehair, which would date this box to the 1840s. Dimensions:  6.75" x 4.25" x 3.5" height.
