TIN LITHO FRONT FOR THE DIAMOND DYES FAIRY CABINET. We do not have
the cabinet but we have what is important, the tin and it is an outstanding
one. When the recent owner acquired this a short while ago it was filthy
and black and they made a quick weak attempt at cleaning it and it came
out wonderful. It will probably clean up even better with a little professional
attention, but this is an outstanding example of the fairy dye tin. This
particular one is usually found in very poor condition and it's so hard
to find in this kind of condition. Nice colors. By Wells & Hope and
Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. SIZE: 24" by 18". CONDITION: large
nail hole down at the bottom (much of which would be covered by the molding
in the door.) A small nail hole at the top right on the edge of the molding
again, maybe partially or fully covered by the molding and a small chip
of paint lies just below that nail. Otherwise, I would rate the tin about
a 9+. 8-86757 (2000-2500)
