Description: Black Ball Ballot Box - Early in the Civil War, many State Regiments elected their own officers. Soldiers voted by placing colored balls in the wood box at times they used a special form of voting. This involved the process of black- balling. A secret ballot was undertaken with each participant using a white or black ball to register acceptance or rejection. This is a dark timber black ball voting or ballot box. The lid promotes. This compartment has a curved pocket on the inner division, between the "posting" and "posted" compartments so that a ball can be dropped from one side to the other as the vote is cast. Marbles are not original. There are no markings on this box to accurately show maker or date. Definitely antique though Thank you
