Antique 19th Century Coach Passenger Foot Warmer vintage sign with a lockable wooden keeperA small 19th century footwarmer once used on long carriage journeys. The footwarmer is made of veneered wood and has an upholstered lid which opens to reveal an insulated interior and a removable metal water tank.

It holds water but has rusted on the inside so the water turns brown when emptied out. It measures 11cms
