Round Shaker Box inscribed “CM Caroline” – SOLD
Mount Lebanon, NY or Canterbury, NH | c. 1860
Maple, pine, and copper
Original stain and varnish surface
4 ¼” h. x 13 ½” dia.
Provenance: Robert & Hazel Belfit, Watertown, CT
In an excellent state of preservation, this straight-lapped, round Shaker Box is inscribed: “CM Caroline.”
Condition note: the number “8” in black Sharpie marker was written in the 1980s by Robert “Bob” Belfit Jr. as part of an inventory of his parents’ collection. Though this may be considered a misstep today, Bob’s efforts preserved much of the information related to the provenance of the Robert & Hazel Belfit Shaker Collection and we are indebted to his work.
