Description

A tin box printed with illustrations of butterflies on the outside. The inside lid has the Artstyle Chocolates logo and on the bottom of the box is imprinted "Manufactures by/ Artstyle Chocolate Company/ Boston St. Louis/ USA" The box has a hinged metal flap closure which still works well. There are four cut slots or holes in the lid, suggesting there may have once been another decorative element inserted there.
