<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 552030, member: 5833"]All thoughts & additions welcome. The interior of the box looks like it underwent a thorough reworking. Think there is no reason to assume it was a restoration. There may not have been a mirror originally. Someone did a really good job with it, & it still seems very secure, nothing peeling away, and the sensibility may be precisely the time period you think it is. Box could have been knocking around for 20 years or more before needing fixing up. I can imagine someone really treasuring it when new.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
