References: An unpublished box, only the one side recorded by Konenkamp, cf. Plate 133, # 72.
Notes: Unusually fine and with little signs of cleaning or damage normally associated with Iserlohn tobacco boxes.
Accompanying the box is a late 19th century visiting card of a 'Miss Leonard', on which is inscribed 'This Tobacco box belonged to an ancestor of ours, Captain William Cullimore an officer in Marlborough's Wars & has been carefully handed on to me by the last member of that branch who died about 60 years ago'.
