<p>[QUOTE="Calico, post: 158461, member: 98"]Hi Everyone, I'm hoping you folks can give me an idea as to age and origin of this pantry dry goods box. I've never seen one quite like this, it's made to look like it's several stacked boxes but it's all one piece. At first I thought it was covered in wallpaper but it seems to be painted with a great golden paint and then decals ? I do think the paint is original. I assume the '5' stands for 5 gallon capacity, it measures 12" x 12".</p><p>I thought maybe Pennsylvania but that's just a guess.</p><p>Any thoughts ?</p><p>BTW, the picture showing the inside of the lid has a partial sticker from an antique store this must have been for sale at once, (why they would apply a sticker to this is beyond me) but it was there when I bought this from a consignment store.</p><p>Lot's of close-up pics below.</p><p>[ATTACH]42960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42966[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

BTW, the picture showing the inside of the lid has a partial sticker from an antique store this must have been for sale at once, (why they would apply a sticker to this is beyond me) but it was there when I bought this from a consignment store. Lot's of close-up pics below.
