[QUOTE="shamster, post: 9867967, member: 85821"]Thank you as always! For the abalone one, I checked under the loupe and found no crossing lines for ivory, and some very thin parallel lines. It is very smooth. And I am indeed surprised with your guess, as I've never seen any box like this one and cannot find one online:wideyed: and now it could even be georgian! For the specimen one, I agree with you, the pattern reminds me of some georgian design but this one is surely later. And I'm now really afraid of touching it :nailbiting: I'll see if I could kill them without getting it out to see it on my table. And for the last one, yes I think so, and guess it will go to charity shop soon![/QUOTE]
