This beautifully executed piece is likely c. 1832, the centennial of his birth. 13/16" deep by 2-7/8" diameter. The only damage is a 1/16x.5" long lacquered sliver off top lid edge and similar 3/16" long off lid edge at 5 o'clock. The only paint wear is along the extreme outer perimeter of lid which once had greenish-blue accent on the narrow raised edge. About 30% of this remains. Because the image area is slightly recessed, this is N. Mint with only normal microscopic craze lines in the lacquer covering the paint. A somewhat youthful Washington in military uniform seated on rearing horse is depicted above the caption "General Washington." While not a campaign item, we can't imagine a more beautifully executed piece to represent the father of our country. Unique design and rare as an early 19th century snuff box. We auctioned this same exact item eight years ago realizing $2500.00. Rare.
