<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9727271, member: 37"]Looks like you have a couple of pretty old examples. Popular since Victorian times. Often sold as souvenirs in coastal areas, they were also made by home hobbyists. Given the nearly identical form of your two boxes, I think yours are the former. Would have been made in a small craft industry setting. I have always thought these underrated as a collectible. They don't seem to garner much interest or have too much value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
