I found this Adorable Vintage Toy Box at an estate sale.

Before I begin to restore it I would like to make sure it is not of value.

Hope someone knows something about it.  Thank you!

will sell for $300.00

Unique, impressionist style perhaps. 3 feet wide by 2 feet high. Dark pigments including reds greens and browns with colors placed evenly throughout. Colors are so deep. Men in boats all have ores up and there are four boats total. Stones in lower left foreground. The people seem to all have coats and hats and look european to me. faces are not visible. It could be very old but I don't know its origin or era. I'm including a photo of signiture in lower right corner. Cursive Green Font with large bold letters but a mystery to me. This Looks aged and needs tended to but.....Museum Quality perhaps Thank you for any advise that may aid me in my search

Condition of this book is probably in the range of "good", to "very good". There is a stain near the bottom of the silk bookmark (pictured).

I know only that this item was manufactured by Homan. I bought it at an estate sale many years ago, packed it up, and only recently rediscovered it. According to some research I've done on the internet, it was made between 1847 & 1896.

This item is VERY tarnished, don't know the best polish to use on it.
