    I just got this heavily tarnished box from a clearance.

    It was lined with a red fabric with cotton stuffing underneath that had perished, I pulled it out as it was a mess and disintegrating.
    The fabric was glued to a removable wooden base that had lead strips glued to it to add weight.

    The lid only has the Sterling mark and date letter O

    The base has #1 S&Co - Birmingham mark -Sterling mark - and date letter O.

    It measures 6 inches width, 4 inches depth and 2 inches high.

    There is a slight split in the lid at the back near the hinge.

    I intend to polish it and perform some type of restoration and keep it.

    I read the marks as Birmingham 1913 Sydney & Co , do you agree.

    The poor thing needs help; the insides probably looked like Buzz got at them.
