<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 229040, member: 44&quot;]Here is a leather case presumably stamped with &quot;4 Fold Pat. 8.23&quot; that has a cameo in it. The owner is dating it to 1923. How they came up with 1923, I don&#039;t know. Description of the imprint:</p><p>&quot;Embossed in a corner on the Plain side is: &quot;4 Fold Pat. 8.23.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vint-vintage-unset-carved-shell-cameo-in-pat-1923" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vint-vintage-unset-carved-shell-cameo-in-pat-1923" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vint-vintage-unset-carved-shell-cameo-in-pat-1923</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and another one in white leather that contained baby rings sold by the Altemueller Jewelry Co. of Washington, MO in the 1920s :</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/152395041650?rmvSB=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/152395041650?rmvSB=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.ca/itm/152395041650?rmvSB=true</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and yet another with sweetheart pin:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-Sweetheart-pin-INTERESTING-CROSSED-CANNON-SEE-PICTURES-RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE-/251382527207" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-Sweetheart-pin-INTERESTING-CROSSED-CANNON-SEE-PICTURES-RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE-/251382527207" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-Sweetheart-pin-INTERESTING-CROSSED-CANNON-SEE-PICTURES-RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE-/251382527207</a></p><p><br /></p><p>andddd another actually in the Canadian War Museum by the C.R.
