GES GESCH Brass Stamp Holder Antique VTG Germany 1899-1944 With One Cent Stamps For Sale

This is an antique stamp box (or a combination stamp-and-trinket box) made by Ges Gesch. It is a highly collectible desk accessory, manufactured in Germany between 1899 and 1914.

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, writing letters was the primary form of long-distance communication. Since postal services required people to keep loose postage stamps at home, wealthy individuals used highly decorative, specialized boxes to store them.
