<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9765217, member: 4654&quot;]Personally tea caddies aren&#039;t my thing, I have over 100 boxes and none are tea caddies lol. When I first started collecting it was the time all manor of antiques were being faked so I made a rule not to buy antiques that could be easily faked. This ruled out many English and European antiques because they can be made cheaply and without huge skill, my focus went onto lost skills and technics or materials that are now banned. The tea caddie is too far gone, woodworm can kill a antique and you don&#039;t know how bad it is, it can have 3 small holes but most of the inside of the wood has gone. The hardest part of restoration on boxes is to find the right metal wear, hinges, keeps and locks are all very hard to find in the right size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
