<p>[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 565098, member: 63"]Hi all,</p><p>I picked up this rather large jewelry box today - weighs 11 lb 1 oz or 5k 20g, 9" x 6 1/2" x 7 1/2"H, add another 2" for the handle, still has the key and the lock works. You can see where the plate has worn off, doesn't attract a magnet so not lead. </p><p>I can find many the same although they are smaller than mine, all say 19th century French - what do you all think? I thought the lining had been replaced but it seems to be the same as the others - not velvet, but the 'fake' velvet material that is stiff like it has thin cardboard underneath it and collects lint and hair easily.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]172213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
