A novelty box in the form of a large peanut. It is wonderfully executed, capturing all of the detail in the shell of the peanut. It is designed with the venerable peanut in mind. The box can filled with the legume, and then split into two pieces with the empty side filled with the byproduct from consumption. Alternatively, the box can be used anywhere else around the home or office as a novelty addition to a desk or sideboard as it is a great looking talking piece. The box is silver plated brass and was made by 'Leonard', in Italy circa 1950's.
