<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 79751, member: 44"]Let me say right off, I know next to nothing about woods and am horrible on dating such things from pictures. The exterior style of this box as to the wood and the mountings may??? be in the style, not of the period, of the wood boxes with silver mounts presumably from Batavia, Dutch East Indies dating from late 1700s/early 1800s. Many of the early Dutch East Indies boxes were used as betel nut boxes. Here are a few of them. Again want to stress the interior of yours doesn't seem to date anywhere near that time period because of the hinges and the lining.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1397.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1397.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1397.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1716.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1716.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1716.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/2722.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/2722.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/2722.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/3194.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/3194.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/3194.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
