<p>[QUOTE="Paul W, post: 9464331, member: 77343"]Yes, the only way to know for sure is if there is old residue inside, which is very rare. I have maybe 20 boxes of different styles and only one of them has that black, now dried up, reside inside. Look on eBay for "Antique Chinese Opium Box #404" which is an opium box. That seller has others, as well, that look legit. The more common cylindrical brass/cloisonne boxes that measure about 3" x 3" were often used for opium, cigarettes, and tea, but usually that size was larger than a person would use for opium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
