BY THOMAS TOWNE, NOV. 24TH, 1871. MADE BY HARVEY DOANE, A LIFE CONVICT IN THE STATE PRISON, AUBURN, NY". HARVEY DOANE WAS CONVICTED OF MURDER APRIL 11, 1862 AND SENTENCED TO DEATH AND LATER SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON. RECORDS OF HIS CONVICTION CAN BE FOUND ON INTERNET. THIS BOX IS CONSTRUCTED FROM DIFFERENT COLOR AND TYPE OF INLAID WITH FITTED INTERIOR AND MIRROR INCORPORATED TO TOP LID. BOX IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR INLAID WOOD PIECES MISSING, SOME WOOD CRACKS DUE TO VERY OLD AGE AND SOME WEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT I JUST DISCOVERED THE TOP PART OF THE COVER LID HAS HIDDEN COMPARTMENT AND CAN BE OPEN BY SLIDING TO THE RIGHT. CRAFTSMANSHIP OF ITS CREATOR ITS SECOND TO NONE. BESIDES OF HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE THIS BOX REPRESENTS THE BEST OF AMERICAN FOLK ART OF 19TH CENTURY. SIZE: 14" IN HEIGHT, 11" DEEP AND 17" WIDE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS IMPORTANT PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND FOR THIS REASON INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WILL BE NOT OFFERED FOR THIS ITEM (NO EXCEPTIONS).
