[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 47979, member: 360"]Hi Nick, You make a pretty good point. And you're right, I have seen boxes like that with plaques/engravings on them, so it is a possibility. A box like this would've been expensive in the 1870s or 1880s. I doubt they would've bought it JUST for a kid to play around with. But it belonging to someone of lower station might make sense. I think I'll just appreciate it and use it. It's why I bought it :)[/QUOTE]
