[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 4522837, member: 111"]I posted this excerpt after an exhaustive day, my sleep interupted by what sounded like a sonic boom, only to hear several others, checking outside to find police cars gathering at what appeared to be rather large party a block away, complete with pyrotechnics. So was a bit tired, and unclear in supporting what LauraGarnet02 found with information from an [B]1885[/B] book, mentioning tobacco boxes found with that '1787' date and also '1812', and giving clear indication that they are Swedish and not a seller 'fantasy' - the link to the older runic calendar just for example (Nordic runic calendars are easily searched). Personally, have little reason to think that the OP's worn box is a reproduction or fake... Reposting with more pertinent bits underlined: [ATTACH=full]398795[/ATTACH] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
