<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11718, member: 36"]That could be older than dirt. The size of a tea caddy is often a clue to age (listen to me acting like I know this stuff). From what I picked up hither and yon, your caddy could be well over 200 years old very easily. Tortoise pieces, from what I'm told, can't be sold over state lines. There might be a licensing thing for auction houses though for antique stuff. Given how many regulations there are around selling tortoise pieces I don't have a clue what it's worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
