Very Early 1890's Basketball Pencil Box
This pencil box dates from just about the time James Naismith invented the game of basketball as an indoor winter sport to keep his phys-ed students in shape, possibly the first pencil box to feature Basketball. The wooden box is covered with a beautiful illustration of the game. There is some damage to the paper, a tear along the bottom left side and a dark spot over the central image of a player. The color quality is good and what a unique treasure from the earliest days of the game.
