Title: old or vintage? Wooden boxes.. part 3
Post by: tngal_2010 on June 11, 2010, 02:27:01 PM

Hello last time,

3. Small one is 4 12" x 4 1/2" with some kind of carving on the top and the sides are also carved?? Not sure, they are rough not smooth with lines all around.  I apologize for my ignorance in describing these. The inside is very clean, and the wood looks very smooth and is in great shape.  The lid is hinged.  Box is very light.


Thanks for your help with this.

Not the box expert, but I would say that it may be Vintage and Handmade or Folk Art kind of item.  Really nice looking box some real care was put into this item it appears, Too much for a Handcrafted imported tourist box.  It appears to be in too great of shape to be really old.  IMO     You also stated Last time, please keep posting Tngal  ;)
