<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Msalicia, post: 4481372, member: 13664&quot;]It is not very clear when I try to enlarge the top open looks as if there is a protruding small part of a lock. I can’t see any catch in the opposite notch. What if anything is there? The back board appears to be set in slightly further than the patina following the half moon shape. It also appears that the whole inside may have been removed. I also noticed on the opening piece a wavy like as if it was pieced to repair the lid. It looks as if the wood on the front vertical wood has signs of it possibly being pried open. Is it possible it could lock? Is any access to a compartment under the curved inset? Maybe i am looking for the evidence on old wood where hands frequent that show nail marks from use anywhere if cigarettes were the were the use with this beautiful piece? What does the bottom look like? Hidden compartments are too fun to find and that looks like it should have one if it were in my possession I would grab a magnifier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
