Delicate lines, heavily carved from top to bottom. Of dark wood, possibly mahogany, elaborate multi level shelves on either side with delicat railings all around. The door to the center cabinet has an intricately carved relief of a young girl in a bonnet in profile with pebbled and other backgrounds behind. There are somewhat rounded mirrors along the rear of the uppermost shelf and heavy knights in armor, made possibly of pewter, hold metal shafts, as if spears, that act as support for a sort of raised center crown.
This is a small porcelin box, with a lid with a man on top in a top hat and is red and green primarily. The lid is removable, I don't know if it's a trinket or gift box, or whatever. It has few markings, besides a number on the side of "7710", and some unidentifyable marking on the bottom, possibly in a different language.
I found it in tha attic among the debris of old army trunks. It is a letter to General Ketcham signed by Woodrow Wilson and his secretary of state. There is a stamped date at the bottom, in the cintents of the letter it also states the date clearly. The presedential seal is centered in the middle of the letter.
