This is a pretty functional item all the way from circa1800s and Isreal Sigmund Greenberg who was Jewish from Russia who set up shop in 1844 in Birmingham and he and his sons made beautiful items as seen the pictures.
I haven't cleaned it up because I like to leave it as found and the lucky purchaser can decide how they want it look on display.
This is beautiful and in excellent condition and functional as you see fit.
Its 10x7.5 inches and 1.5 depth a d weighs 330grames.
