That box is dated 1796 so we know exactly when it was made, we just don&#039;t know what function it had.</p><p>To say all slide lid boxes were used to store candles is bogus, they were used for other functions as well which is probably why Pook left out the candle thingy.</p><p>&quot;candle box&quot; has become a generic term similar to &quot;bible box&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
