I have found one other out there done in a very similar manner listed at $1800 and described as dating to the 1700’s

It's definitely quite old but the bristles are in terrific shape (I am always amazed at how the straw on these old brushes holds up forever)
Treen Dome Lidded Apothecary Case with Glass Measure menangerie Very minor wear showing onI can never pass on old treen apothecary canisters like this, especially one with such a lovely rounded top, and with shot glass measure inside, marking teaspoons and tablespoons. This would have been used for medicine, but makes for a handy traveling shot glass now, should one wish, say, to make a proper cocktail on a picnic or just in the hotel room. Of course still good for administering cough syrup too, or for cooking! 3 1 2" t x 2 1 4" in
