<p>[QUOTE="Ex Libris, post: 4409570, member: 14916"]I do not know if this forum is the right place to post. The casts are not even antique, but just reproductions of ancient objects. A box like this is rare though. As the letter mentioned there were 3 made (at that time). I wonder where the other 2 are. I can imagine there is still a box in the museum in La Petite Pierre (Little Rock in English). I can't imagine there are a lot collectors for these reproductions. The history of this small collection is mainly interesting to the local history I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These casts were made for exibition- and research purposes. The original wax seals are very vulnarable. Maybe next summer I will plan my holiday in the Alsace for further investigation. Then I can combine my interest for this box with my passion for old books. <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/new-addition-to-my-collection-a-post-incunable-1514.50837/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/new-addition-to-my-collection-a-post-incunable-1514.50837/">One of my oldest books</a> (1514) is printed in the nearby town of Haguenau.
