Description

Jewelry or hat pin box from Black, Starr and Frost Jewelers in New York City. Judging by the Fifth Avenue address, it is from after 1912, and most likely belonged to Priscilla Dixon Loper. The box is circular with a domed top and a satin lining. There appear to be some rust or metal marks on the inside pad, probably from earrings or a hat pin repeatedly piercing the material. The box has a diameter of 3.25" and is a tan color.
