Chinese Soapstone Stamp in Wood Box, this item is vintage, really vintage.

We have a Chinese Soapstone stamp stored in what looks like an Oak Box, with ink area at end. This wood box is unique and I'm sure you haven't seen one like this before. The box itself measures: 5 1/2" long x 1 1/2" wide, the lid slides off and on, unique. The lid is a thin piece of wood, rounded at corners as is box itself, sliding into a nice little track, all wood. Inside the box we have we have the stamp area which is lined in Blue Satin, this area is separate from the ink area. The stamp itself measures: 3 1/8" long x 1/2" wide, a beautiful piece of Rusty Red soapstone with lots of texture and variation of color, the stamp has been carved into one end of item. This stamp fits perfectly into it's area perfectly. Now the opposite end of box which holds the ink is approximately: 1 1/4" long x 1 1/4" square, it's holding a Red Ink, you are still able to get some ink on the stamp itself.

All corners of this box are rounded, beautiful, I believe it was pieced. You can tell there was two end pieces with the two sides as well as bottom, there is some cracking but it's not, just the wood coming away, maybe the glue has long dried out. There are no screws or nails holding this box together.

There is no mark on this item, just order the information on the stamp, which I cannot tell what it says.

This is a beautiful, vintage stamp and ink area all contained in this perfect, beautiful box. What a wonderful conversation piece or office decor item.
