    I found and showed one of these recently -- it is the 2 pound size, seen here:

    And now I found another one -- this is the one pound size, as actually described in the article I linked to in the other showing. I neglected then to realize the measurements given didn't match it <groan> but they DO match this one... <groan><lol>

      Very nice !
      Whitman’s has been around for a long time.

      Part of the design is of the well known painting Zodiac by Alphonse Marie Mucha from 1896.

      mp.kunst, Yes, indeed. : -)

      On another post of one of these Whitman Salmagundi boxes, I opined as to which of the variant zodiac paintings I thought looked the closest:

      Ugh. I feel quazy now, because I can't refind the link for all of the very similar images where various things are tweaked like the woman's hair color and her headress.

      Here are a few:

      I had to get my train of thought back. When I first started researching the image on the Salgamundi tin, I didn't know that the closest one was Mucha's Zodiac painting, so I was looking at a lot of Mucha's works, like this one:
