Exceptional  Large 19th Century Pantry Box in federal blue-gray paint.  Box is in excellent condition with a minor apology to the lid and minimal loss to the base rim.  Neither detracts from the desirability of this piece.  There are both square and round nails with construction being very solid.  The lid fits snugly on the base and this American made beauty boasts an unusual squatty size.  It would be perfect at the bottom of a painted stack.  The paint may be a later but expertly applied addition.  
Size:  Height 4 7/8" x Diameter 17 inches.
