Description: Vintage brass cricket box/cricket casket/cricket keeper. I left the patina on it because it's gorgeous to me, but buyer is more than welcome to polish it. Here's the history of cricket boxes: Its a cricket box, a place to keep your pet cricket. You may have seen crickets at pet stores, but they are not generally sold as pets. Theyre more considered reptile chow. To understand the idea of a cricket as a pet, you need to start back in ancient China. Per Wikipedia, the oldest cricket-keeping artifact dates to 960 A.D. Crickets were enjoyed for their song and thought to bring good luck. By the 12th century, cricket fighting also started happening. Crickets were kept and cared for like tiny athletes. Cricket fighting continues to this day, and thankfully its no longer a lethal sport.
