<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 9569380, member: 8363"]I was so excited to share this find with you and get your thoughts on it. I found a similar example except that one had a design in brass in the middle. <a href="https://candlewoodtrading.com/products/vintage-malachite-and-brass-los-castillos-trinket-cigar-box-with-fish-design-inlay-mexico" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://candlewoodtrading.com/products/vintage-malachite-and-brass-los-castillos-trinket-cigar-box-with-fish-design-inlay-mexico" rel="nofollow">Vintage Malachite and Brass Los Castillos Trinket/Cigar Box with Fish – Candlewood Trading Company</a> Other examples also have brass and other metal designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The box is thin and heavy at 8 1/4" long; 3 3/4"wide and 3/4" tall with a brass lid and wood bottom (rosewood according to the other link) inside. It weighs over 1 1/2 pounds. What do you all think the stones are? Malachite? Sodalite? Lapus? The case is clearly brass. Other examples are stamped with the Los Castillo stamp. This one has nothing that I can see. Thoughts on age? </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]459579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459580[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459587[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
