<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owliza, post: 9414987, member: 20298&quot;]ETA- I missed “box in the title! Sorry!</p><p>I picked up this old box yesterday. I will use it for jewellery or bits and bobs but it was clearly originally intended and used for gaming bits (whist? Yeah, I&#039;ve been reading Jane Austen lately ). I would be thrilled to bits for any information about it. Era, wood type, how originally used? Anything!</p><p><br /></p><p>What I know:</p><p>- It is wood and seems to have no nails, etc.</p><p>- The frames for the suit symbols are wood (I plan to try and make a replacement for the missing 4th)</p><p>- The suit symbols look handpainted on ceramic. If anyone knows how I might find replacements- yes please!</p><p>-The base has the remnants of leathery paper - it leaves a gummy residue on sweaty finger tips.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures suck and I apologise profusely! If there is any further view that would help, lemme know! I think I have more photos than will fit in the post so there may be more in comments once I get this up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for looking and any help!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]431749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431752[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431754[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
