<p>[QUOTE="The Marshall House, post: 264636, member: 4657"]This piece was owned by General Marshall and was possibly bought while he was in China as Special Envoy from 1945-47. It is black lacquer with Chinese designs on each piece. The restoration team put prop cigarettes in the canister (pictured) years ago so we assume this piece has something to do with cigarettes. Would anyone be able to say what this item is and/or went in the other pieces? Thanks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]83106[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83109[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
