This ingenious box has six small shot glasses inside. The box looks like a stack of old books, which opens to reveal the glasses. This was meant to be a deception and dates back to the time when drinking was not done publicly. The box is quite old and has quite some signs of it: the top is slightly concave and has some breaks in the leather and the lower books have some damage to the edges and spines. The glasses inside are very charming, with etched deer and gold rims. The box has a v...ery sturdy hinge and a bracket to hold the lid open.Measurements are: 7 1/4" by 4 7/8" and 5 1/4" tall.
