Amazing advertising box for the Sebastian-Stuart Fish Company in Seattle, Washington. Rare find out of Nantucket estate. Has antique wear and tear throughout, when closed lid is off kilter. Scratches, dings, markings etc tell of another time. Great character and charm – would look fabulous displayed. Could use a good cleaning, which I’ll leave to the new owner. See photos for condition and details. Sebastian was born in 1885 in Wheaton, Illinois. The future entrepreneur graduated from the Chicago-based Northwestern University School of Law, which had been founded only nine years before his birth, before heading west to Seattle in 1908 to open a law practice. Nine years later, he switched from practicing the law to marketing fish with the formation of the Sebastian-Stuart Fish Company. Among their brands was Old Pals Salmon. Sebastian was also one of the top horse breeders in Washington. Google for more information on this entrepreneur or the fish company, itself.
