In the maker's words

This Vintage Japanese House Bank Puzzle Box needs some repair but is otherwise extremely unusual! Measuring approximately 6.5 x 4.75 x 4 inches, this box will ping faintly when the hidden drawer is exposed. The roof line is very unusual as most Houses have only a standard sloping gable roof but this box has a hipped roof as is seen in the pictures! This box is missing the key although it is quite a standard size to find. The box does need repair as can be seen in picture 2. It does function although the front slide needs to be repaired. It is a fantastic example of a VINTAGE Japanese box and is extremely hard to find.
