Description
This sweet and highly collectable Stamp Box is French, a Souvenir Piece from Boulogne. Made from celluloid it has on its lid a dear lady standing proud with her fishing net, against the backdrop of a sea full of fish, with fishing boats upon it and seagulls in the sky. It looks like the illustration has been made by being scratched on to the surface and then a stain being applied on top, and the word Boulogne possibly being burnt on.

condition
This little stamp box is in very good condition with no chips or cracks to the celluloid that I can see, although the celluloid has darkened slightly with age and gathered some dirt at the edges of the box and in the boxes for the stamps. The hinge of the box is still strong and the lid fits well.
