<p>[QUOTE="Ihaveolditems, post: 296288, member: 5203"][ATTACH=full]96460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]96462[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]96459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]96458[/ATTACH] I purchased this quaint little brass box, which is stamped with 40 on both the top and the bottom half. Can you date it, and identify it's possible origin? It is apparently solid brass. Non magnetic. It has been polished before. Someone's repurpose it by gluing a bunch of potpourri to the top for whatever reason. Under the potpourri is some kind of a handle held to the box with two brass round pegs. The feet are brass as well, round and smaller than the pegs holding the handle on it. The box itself is perforated with cross-like pattern all the way around(and the lid as well). There is a brass L shaped piece to presumably keep the top from hitting the bottom wen opened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
