Even by the standards of some of the watercolour boxes I offer here this is a truly rare box.Not only is it one of Winsor Newtons best quality watercolour boxes but it is of a thumb hole design and as can be seen it is of a good size.

 

As you know most of these metal boxes have rings underneath but this is designed in a similar way to a palette and in practice it works very well.

 

It’s condition considering it’s age is really quite nice, yes there are scratches and chips etc but I consider it good. It is certainly not rusted out and if looked after will last a lifetime.

 

Boxes of this time and especially these best quality ones are made of a thicker gauge of metal and so not are only sturdier but last longer.

 

Internally the condition is similar but really quite good and perfectly useable and it will always be so if looked after. It is only neglect that kills boxes like these.

 

There are also more paints than one could shake a stick at, whatever that means!

 

Certainly there are enough colours here to paint almost anything and as can be seen even paints still unwrapped.

 

This is really a good desirable and box that is just waiting to get back to work.
