Product description
The cases come in sets of two, and there are two styles with the same item number. All of the cases are made of wood, are covered entirely with embossed copper and have handles.

The rectangular cases measure 9 ¼ inches by 6 ¾ inches by 5 ½ inches high [23.5 x 17.15 cm. x 14 cm.]; and 5 ¼ inches by 7 ¾ inches by 3 ¾ inches high [13.34 cm. x 18.7 cm. x 9.53 cm.] The oval cases are 10 ½ inches by 7 ½ inches by 5 ¾ inches [26.7 cm x 19 cm. x 14.6 cm]; and 8 ½ inches by 5 ¾ inches by 3 ¾ inches high [21.6 cm. x 19 cm. x 9.53 cm.]
