fantastic 19th century antique walnut ballot box. These came into fashion in the Georgian period and were mainly used in fraternities like theFreemasonsor the Oddfellows. The cabinet has 2 drawers concealed behind a walnut panel at the base and votes are cast by dropping a small ball into a funneled hole with “AYE” stenciled or “NO” stenciled . The box has a green fabric on the base so it won’t scratch any surfaces, and the cabinet is in wonderful condition with our only condition notes being minor surface wear , LOOKS like there might have been a brass handle on it at one point , you can see there was something on the back, the entire case on this is dovetailed the drawers have fine dovetails and we have a working key ! Just in time for Midterms !
