<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 4311409, member: 4654"]"The estate" sounds American, I suppose it depends on value and value is something I haven't a clue on. The way they are describing it sounds like an old master painting lol. I live in the UK and I got this box from a US seller in the US, I didn't pay a lot and it's description didn't match the photos so I took a punt. I have many boxes from all over the world and experience has taught me what to look for, some things are impossible to fake and this box has more than one pointing to 100's of years of existence. Normally a box of that age from Europe in this condition would make a lot of money so the old master description isn't out of place. I'm satisfied it is a coquera, I have been researching this box on and off for years and I knew is was old but hadn't a clue what to type in to get similar items. I will say I'm always open to a more persuasive view as in this game lots of people can be wrong (that's how I've got many fantastic objects for next to no money) But after years of looking this has satisfied my itch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
