An 18th Century Tea Chest? For $750,000? Reserve not met? Hah, the curse of the Brits lives on. And notice, hilariously, ‘will not ship’. Arf!
Up for bid is an extremely rare 18th century tea chest that is reputed to have been thrown into Boston Harbor during the famous Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773. One of only three known surviving tea chests from this historical event that triggered the Revolutionary War for independence.
