Description
With our highest compliments & utmost honors, Bay Colony Antiques is extremely proud to offer for sale this fantastic 19th century antique Mahogany ballot box. These came into fashion in the Georgian period & were mainly used in fraternities like the Freemasons or the Oddfellows. The cabinet has 6 drawers concealed behind a mahogany panel at the base & votes are cast by dropping a small ball into a funneled hole with "YES" stenciled in yellow or "NO" stenciled in black. The box has a green baize fabric on the base so it won't scratch any surfaces, & the cabinet is in wonderful condition with our only condition notes being minor surface wear & the key is missing. We have a large stockpile of antique keys & definitely have a few small ones that we will try but can't guarantee we'll be able to match one up. The box measures 22 1/2" wide x 7 3/4" deep x 12" tall. 19Th Century Antique Victorian Mahogany Voting/Ballot Box ~ Freemason Oddfellows
