With our highest compliments and utmost honors, Bay Colony Antiques is extremely proud to offer for sale this fantastic 19th century antique Mahogany 6 ballot box. These came into fashion in the Georgian period and were mainly used in fraternities like the FreeMasons or the Oddfellows. The cabinet has 6 drawers concealed behind a mahogany panel at the base and votes are cast by dropping a small ball into a funneled hole with “YES” stenciled in yellow or “NO” stenciled in black. The box has a green baize fabric on the base so it won’t scratch any surfaces and the cabinet is in wonderful condition with our only condition notes being minor surface wear and the key is missing. We have a large stockpile of antique keys and definitely have a few small ones that we will try but can’t guarantee we’ll be able to match one up. The box measures 22 1/2” wide x 7 3/4” deep x 12” tall.
