<p>[QUOTE=&quot;annasamara, post: 105353, member: 1488&quot;]Hi! I have inherited a wooden writing box from my great-great aunt via my grandmother. I love it, but I would like to find out a bit more about it if possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what kind of wood it is, or how old it is, what it might be worth (no way I&#039;m selling it but would like to cover it under my insurance) and I&#039;d also appreciate any advice on fixing/restoring the writing slope section - the coating (bonded leather? vinyl? stuff??) is flaking away and bits of black stuff get everywhere every time I use it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has wood inlay on the top, front, and back, and there used to be a lock but it&#039;s not there any more, unfortunately, looks like it&#039;s been pulled out although the keyhole plate on the front remains.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve attached some photos so if anyone can help shed some light that would be wonderful!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]26641[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26642[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26643[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26644[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26645[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
