Brass Bound Coin Collector's Box

A brass bound mahogany Box made for a Coin Collector.
This is a well-made, small box with brass straps and four lift out oak trays. The bottom tray is simply a flat board covered in blue felt to the top and with nine indentations to take two different sizes of coins. The tray that sits on top of it is fitted to take five coins and has high sides so that the next two trays can sit within it. The next tray also takes nine coins of two sizes and the top tray sits within it. The top tray has the smallest indentations and will take eighteen coins in three sizes.
This is an unusual box, and its original use is intriguing. Mid to late 19th Century.
