[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 477469, member: 51"]Hello, all! Had no idea there were more responses here -- seem to get intermittent notifications, just stumbled on it now. What AMAZING research INH and Fig. Even finding the maker and patent. Wow. Everyone here is the best! :happy::happy::happy: Actually when I saw this box my first thought was that it was a ring box. Was so surprised when there was a little thimble in there. :wideyed: So, a bit of an update with the tarnish. With a gentle bit of simichrome polish, the tarnish disappeared to a mirror shine. I didn't do the whole thing, but someone with more time will be able to. I just the top, and even left the center feature and sides undone. Dang this was hard to photograph.
