[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 263443, member: 1331"]The recipient of this trinket box had better be a stamp collector or the conversation could go along the lines …. No dear I'm not suggesting you are as old and ugly as Queen Victoria …... I mean you're beautiful not ugly dear. No dear you're not as fat as her …. I mean you trim and beautiful dear No dear I'm not suggesting you should be murdered, stuffed in a trunk and posted to India. What's that dear?? There had better be a diamond necklace to go in it next time???? Yes dear. A crazed trinket box with a stamp on top and a heart clasp for $6 at the local antique/junk dealers. Just had to buy it for the curiosity if nothing else.
