Ticking Watch Box. European, ca. 1870s. A borrowed watch is locked inside the beautifully crafted mahogany box, cloth-lined and bearing a mirror on the inside lid. The box is left on a table and continues to tick as if the watch is inside, but when reopened the timepiece has vanished. Mechanism engraved illegibly by the manufacturer and dated 1868. With winding key, and locking key. Mirror loose. Minor chipping at lower front edge. Scarce.
