5" x 2" x 1". According to Stuart’s Florida Makers Volume 4, the earliest box shows patent pending. The 2nd style box is said to have been made after the patent was issued in 1929, and that box is reported to carry the St. Augustine address as well as an Anastasia, FL P.O. box. This example does carry the patent and date; however, it is not marked for any particular model, nor does it carry any address. Therefore, this box is believed to be an intermediary to box styles 1 and 2 described in Stuarts’ book. This rare box is solid on all edges and corners, shows just a little tackle box wear, and grades Very Good Plus or better.
Item Dimensions: 5" x 2" x 1".
