Antique White House Brand Coffee Dwinell~Wright Wood Shipping Crate Box For Sale

Remarkable Display Awesome GraphicsAntique White House Coffee Shipping CrateDwinell-Wright CompanyChicago, Illinois
Great antique shipping box to design a room around or compliment a room you already have. It is large enough to stack on antiques & makes a bold statement with nice graphics. The White House Coffee Brand & the Dwinell-Wright Company both have been around a very long time as has this box.
The box is approx 34\"L x 17.5\"H x 13.25\"D & weighs a little over 20 pounds. It is tongue & groove & nailed together. The hinges were a later addition as this would have originally just been nailed shut. Tough to guess the exact age of box, but most likely 1900-1930\'s. The following information is taken from free Wikipedia:
Dwinell-WrightCompanyand their White House brands of
coffee andtea were thelast andbest known
incorporation of one ofthepioneersofthecoffee F. Dwinell
startedroasting coffeeasDwinell & Co.in1845, and in
1879 he joined forceswith MartinHayward and GeorgeC. Wright
tobecomeDwinell,Hayward and Co.,which evolved to
Dwinell-WrightCompany in 1899after the death of Mr. Hayward.[1]
They moved part of their operations to Chicago after 1899 when this box would have been made. The exterior of box has some wear, but the inside is in pretty good shape, as if it as used to store something for a long time. I will say the inside of box has moderate \"old\" smell, like moth balls or something. Some airing out would help.
Tough to find one as nice as this, these days. If you like any other of our items, we could pack them with this to combine shipping & there is room in the box! You could even buy 4-5, just a thought.
Free Local Pickup & we will drive 15 miles from Indianapolis to assist. Other shipping will be FedEx Ground which varies by location. I will invoice for shipping after sale. I ran a FedEx estimate to Atlanta & it was $16, to LA California it was $26. Insurance will run a few more dollars, but that should give you an idea. I can ship USPS Priority, but I think it is much higher. I will ship to US & Canada Only, thanks.
We ship with great care & as quickly as we can.
