Description

I purchased this tea caddy from a thrift store recently, so I have no history on it. There are several areas on the exterior with missing pieces of veneer. Vertical interior drawer inside with key, and 3 heavy metal containers with sliding lids. A “J” and a “G” inscribed on 2 canisters. Looking for info as to age, manufacturer, and idea as to value. Any help appreciated!
