<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 167318, member: 33&quot;]That is very cool -- I&#039;ll guess that somebody collected those woods over a period of 21 years (Note that there is a date range from Dec. 26, 1868 - 1889.) I think it&#039;s more likely that the box was finished in 1889.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just speculation again, but if the person collected all of those woods and was a wood worker, he or she could have crafted the box over a period of years. Or, collected the pieces of wood over a period of years. And the box was made of many types of wood, obviously.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like the head on the front might have had antlers, horns, or maybe just ears at one time. They were either made of a different type of material, or of wood... but they fell off at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love this thing! One of the most interesting items I&#039;ve seen here lately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
