<p>[QUOTE=&quot;History 101, post: 49542, member: 504&quot;]Thanks for the responses so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=59]@Bakersgma[/USER] : my box is a bit of a mystery when it comes to provenance. I do know it was a gift to a man who died during WW2, who was the grandfather of my wife. It was then passed onto his son, my wife&#039;s father.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER] : thanks for the links. Before posting here I did scour the Internet for several hours and came up with similar boxes. I suppose the mystery I&#039;m trying to solve is being to identify the scripted mark on the bottom of the box, mainly because it looks hand painted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
