a baffled interior and a single dovetailed drawer. This box exhibits the finest in form and proportion. 18th century hand

by a brass one. A "Granny note" is affixed to the back, reading in part: "This pipebox belonged to Clayton's
great great grandfather.......Wood of Weston, Connecticut. In case of my death or if I should lose my mind give this box to
