My guess is 1880-90s.

still a nice piece. I would say around the time of the Paris Exposition. In the album there is a very similar banner on their parade float. Also take note of the slightly more smiling old planter than the earliest 1880 depictions of their famous icon.........

Thanks! I will check as soon as I receive the box. It was described as 1883 so I'm thinking that's where this date came from.

I just received the box yesterday. I believe the tax stamp is dated March 3 1883. Is that of any particular significance?
Thank you
Michael
