Message:: [QUOTE="Mile-ender, post: 2898467, member: 17104"]Hey folks, first post for me here. Not sure if this would be the right forum (maybe tribal?). At any rate, I picked this up at auction some time ago (I've got a number of pieces I'll be sharing over time).  Spanish colonial style, hand tooled and embossed leather petaca (document box)with hand forged iron hasp, strap hinges, lock-plate. Box is 8" x 5½" x 5½".So as my post says, original or repro?The few I've seen around the net listed as original pieces seem similar, but there's that gut feeling that tells me it's a reproduction.So, what do you think?[ATTACH]285602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285605[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285605[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285605[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285608[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
