This is an antique salesman’s sample collection that is in remarkably excellent condition, with most pieces retaining a shiny finish. Each piece is marked with the. Jahncke’s Patent, Registered 15 May 1880. One piece is stamped with a diamond pattern mark, though I don’t know how to read it. The collection includes a mirror box, 2 Mitrailleuse (machine gun) needle cases, and a sachet tin case, among others. The lid for the wood/paper container box is missing. Founded in 1873 by Ernest Jahncke and incorporated in 1893, Jahncke Ltd were tin box manufactures from Canonbury Works, Dorset Street, Islington. Bryant and May acquired an interest in 1895, with Jahncke boxes being used for their wax vestas. Jahncke Ltd was liquidated in 1963.

Looks to be 1880s-1900 or so. Very fine details and stunning embossing. Scene of some frontiersman, settlers, cows, around a campfire and hauling their cover wagon. Small dent to one corner (see finger point pic). A couple of small rust spots (see finger point pics). 9″ x 8.5″. This appears to be an antique tintype photograph case, possibly from the mid-to-late 19th century. The embossed or relief design on the case depicts a frontier or pioneer camp scene, complete with a covered wagon, settlers around a campfire, and a tent. The floral border suggests a Victorian-era aesthetic, which was common in decorative items from that time. Possible Uses & History. Photograph Case : These cases were often used to store and protect daguerreotype, ambrotype, or tintype photographs. Jewelry or Keepsake Box : Some similar cases were repurposed for storage of small valuables. Early American or Western Expansion Theme : The imagery reflects themes of westward expansion in the United States, a popular motif in 19th-century art and culture.
