At first glance it looks antique but on closer inspection I&#039;m less sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>The wood certainly appears very old and its put together with dovetail joints. </p><p><br /></p><p>The main thing that is making me think that it is from sometime in the second half of the last century is the red foil between the brass hinges and the woodwork.. Has anyone seen anything like this before. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are also aspects of the box that don&#039;t appear very quality like the way the RHS hinge has a part filed out for the compartment.</p><p><br /></p><p>It came full of bronze Tilak stamps that certainly look over 100 years old.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks a lot!</p><p><br /></p><p>Calum</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]363535[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363536[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363537[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363538[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
