    Dear antique sleuths, so I picked this dresser box up from auction. Trying to find one like it that has sold in the past to see what might be missing from the top of it. 4 screw holes that look original to it. Some gorgeous topper probably. I can imagine that it was lined at one time or at least had a bottom covering. It is big and heavy. 9.5 x 7.5 x 5 inches tall. High quality brass weighing almost 8 pounds. What do you think was attached to lid? As always thanks

    The more I look at mine, I am thinking it is bronze and not brass as well.
