    and that's decidedly the color blue and specifically robin egg blue. Only dry salmon (chalky red) is a close second to robin egg blue. This particular blue is not robin egg blue but is rather a weathered, naturally oxidized bluish-green and whose color and surface patina, have been heavily influenced by previous handling and exposure to light and air over the years, some
    170 to 190 years,
    more or less. It's almost entirely as it was originally constituted, albeit with some added nails on the lid's interior cleats. The interior is unpainted and is dry, as is the bottom. Although not found with its original key, the front lock hardware is original, intact and present. Only the original rear hinges were previously replaced at some prior juncture with brass ones. The painted finish has original, dry, matte surfaces. Estate fresh and absolutely unadulterated and untouched.

    Magnificent.
