<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 4574600, member: 8363&quot;]Hi everyone.&nbsp; I missed you all.&nbsp; I picked up a few things since I came back from South Africa (the only thing I saw old there was elephant dung). Most things I have been able to recognize due to the members&#039; wonderful tutelage.&nbsp; This latest piece has me stumped though.&nbsp; My first searches lead me to opium pillows (very sought after), but I have my doubts about this being an actual antique.&nbsp; The size doesn&#039;t seem right (2 1/2&quot; deep X 5 3/4&quot; tall and 5&quot; wide) but I don&#039;t know if there was a universal size.&nbsp; It has a hole to store valuables and vent holes.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t able to find any with cut outs shaped like a butterfly though.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has a red stamp like one supposed antique I found.&nbsp; It is very dirty inside (not dust - dirt), so I think it has been used.&nbsp; Does anyone have an opinion?&nbsp; Any comments would be greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]406544[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
