I don't know much about this. The thing that caught my eye was the carving inside the door. I'm very curious to know if this could have belonged to H.J. Heinz.

Tray Rarely Used
Beautiful!
Lightest surface scratches on tray. Small Pit on tray edge. There are some grey spots,on the tray, and tarnish the detail and joints of of the handles
All wear to Tea and coffee set are from storage.
The Tea and Coffee Pot have few light scratches at the outermost edges - Only seen in certain angles of the light. A tiny surface scratch/indent(not even a 16th of an inch in) on the teapot that can only be found in certain light/positions. (I'm including a picture taken in the barn where the distortion of the roof shows the area)
The pin of the hinge is also quite strange - I have included this as well. My mother says the set was never used and the hinge came that way.
The creamer has a smaller pit at bottom of creamer, and top of sugar bowl top handle has a few tiny pits.
Book is in fairly good condition for being so old. Cover is in a semi beat up condition, but pages are in perfect condition. Leather is very faded and missing in some places. Overall, very good shape.
has an intricate design on sides and cover
inside has 3 rows of 8 cigarette holders on each side
in the middle is a working music box dancing couple- the woman is dressed in a short formal gown and the man is in a black suit- they spin and their legs move as the music box turns them and their legs touch the ground. the song playing is not known to me.
