Title: Metal Box?
Post by: MythrilDelight on April 19, 2010, 06:05:15 AM
Hello again, so I was telling my Nan (who is very interested in antiques) about my Noritake jar I found...and she asked me if I could post pictures of a metal box that she has had for years.  Due to the fact that my family lives in Canada and I live here in Vegas...my little sister took pictures of it with her cell phone and emailed them to me. 

Ive seen this type of box before but cant find anything specific on what it was, the year or the value of her specific one.  Sorry the pictures are not that great....Nan claims that the box is the Rembrant "Last Supper" but Im not totally sure as I couldnt find anything regarding the "Last Supper"

The stamp on the bottom is a little grainy but it reads:  N.V. Biscuitfabriek VICTORIA Dordrecht-Holland

The others have it right.  It is a bisquit box (cookies to most here in the US).  They are collectible.  Have seen this particular one sell for $35 up.  Just depends on the market.
