    Thank-you Dragonfly-wink for the catalog page:) So a jewel case it is! Shame the handle is missing though.
    Thanks all for input on this, it has been fun!

    Still a nice looking piece, actually more attractive to my eye without the handle...

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Does the discoloration on the bottom indicate any kind of recent 'solder' work on the bottom around those 'feet' posts????

    thanks for the link Scout! That price seems pretty high but maybe someone will pay that.
    No work has been done Aquitaine, just tarnish.

    Yeah, but look how insane it is!!!

    I wonder if that was for display "Compliments" and all?

    The space itself doesn't seem useful for a wide variety of trinkets or jewels, but I do also see a band for bracelets and such.
