[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4105992, member: 8708"]I often pick up nice tins and boxes and fill them with goodies as they always sell well. This box was in a local charity shop and it immediately screamed quality at me even though badly damaged and it was very cheap (£7). I’ve googled Underwood and was astonished to see how expensive they are! They make watch winders and bespoke safes. However I can’t find any preowned examples at all on the internet. A few watch winders and cuff link boxes but nothing like this and particularly nothing at all with this label. At first I thought it was a knock off but the quality of the work isn’t commensurate with a fake and also I can’t find any others :confused:. Any tips on restoration?, we have proper leather dye.......:nailbiting:.? I have the key. Apologies it isn’t antique but I’d love to hear if anyone knows anything about this brand or if indeed they do get faked. I’m going to email the company to see if they can help with the label and authenticity. Thanks for looking :-) [ATTACH=full]330150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
