Vintage items seem to always have some marks due to age and the use of the item. Note this box has been used but I must say overall it is in nice condition. I have tried to show the details of the artwork all around the box The cover has a small hole on the back side for the person to hang this as a picture, thus the frame style cover. The "Mothers" poem on the cover is very colorful and is in good condition. The box is stamped with: Manufactured by Artstyle Chocolate Company Boston St. Louis USA I am not able to verify the date but some listings post the date on this box as in the 1920's
