Early EVH Leather Tackle Box #5 Model

[limnos]

Super nice 1880's Edward Vom Hofe leather tackle box. Don't recall seeing this model before. I've seen the more square ones, but not this little rectangular #5 model (Per a 1889 catalog entry). Incredible condition for a 120-140 year old tackle box. Original leather strap and strap keepers all intact and nothing is dry rotted. It has a 1883 patent on the bottom for the seamless construction. That patent is by two men named Hoff.
