Title: Jelewry Box Idenification If possible?
Post by: ReviverCorey on February 21, 2013, 10:40:42 PM: Can Someone give me some info on this Box so i know how to catalog it in my collection Pics at bottom below story and findings. Ok just starting my journey in Picking, Restoration of beat up and broken furniture, also collecting antiques. This is my first pick but i cant identify the year or what it is suppose to be. I believe Its like an mini armoire jewelry box the closest and only box i could find is hand made by Mele but they have markings to show it was them i cant find any. when I bought it the doors where loose missing screws as i was wiping the dust off i found all missing parts behind a one of the drawers. Carefully put them back in I'd give it a 7.5/10 just a little usage wear not any major damage. I found a (queen elz. II violet stamp) also behind the drawer stuck between the wood and the music chime its a 1958-1959 Stamp so i think it might be mid 1950's to late 1950's box.

Please Any Info Will be greatly appreciated I would like to know history of any item i get
Thank You For Your Time,

Post by: sapphire on February 23, 2013, 07:26:14 AM: Are those dimensions correct? You said it's 30" wide, yet it's sitting on the lid of a washer with room to spare. Must be one whopping big washer! Is that measurement with the doors open??
