<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 99962, member: 37&quot;]Just received my box today and it was a complete surprise.&nbsp; I had totally forgotten about this give-a-way so winning makes it a special surprise.&nbsp; I did not send my address but somehow Santa found a way to get this to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I love, love, love the Haida bentwood box. I see on the side of the outer box it says crafted by Anne and Charles Gee.&nbsp; Inside there is a card saying <i>Halibut by Leon Ridley</i>.&nbsp; I assume this means that the decoration was done by Ridley and the box by the Gees?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My cat really perked up when I blew the whistle.&nbsp; It is Cusco (Cuzco) pottery from Peru. I think the gator is a handle to something with that notch in the mouth.&nbsp; Maybe a fan?&nbsp; Maybe from an old Florida souvenir?&nbsp; The bone keychain has an ulu on it so, in that form,&nbsp; maybe Inuit?&nbsp; I actually have a modern ulu that I use all the time.&nbsp; Best chopping knife ever. </p><p><br /></p><p>I assume the horse is an older Swedish dala horse?&nbsp; Looks like the little pottery man came off of something.&nbsp; Any origin on this?&nbsp; I will have to find something to place him on to or another way to display him.&nbsp; I will use the money clip to house some of my wads of money stashed away. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I really like the hammered silver (?) horned animal.&nbsp; This may be the sleeper in the bunch.&nbsp; Any ideas about origin for this?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any way you look at it, I came out like a bandit on this.&nbsp; Thank you for the generous gesture.&nbsp; It is a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
