Circa 1910 Jerusalem Olivewood & Inlay Snuffbox Palestine Israel Antique Judaica:
$195.00
4 inches wide, 1 inch high. There is one age crack that measures a quarter of an inch as shown in the closeup photo. Other than that, this 100+ year old piece is in beautiful condition with a warm patina and a smooth feel.
I have never seen such a luxurious piece of olivewood. The entire inside is inlaid with tortoise shell, the lid has a tortoise shell Magen David, the rest of the space being bone. This was not a cheap piece when it was sold. For a well-to-do tourist in The Holy Land, to carry Tobacco.
Insured shipping to anywhere in the USA is $11. Worldwide airmail is $30.
