    Hi all,

    I posted this on the metals forum, but no one could give me this information. I would like to know where it is from, the name of the style, age...all if possible. It still has a couple very old Marlboro's in it, and they started in 1924. Not sure if this is earlier though.

    Also, I have tested several Android picture comparison apps to see if I can find similar images that I have. None work as I want them to. Any ideas?

    Thanks greatly,
    Amy photo_1600950008211.jpg photo_1600950605456.jpg photo_1600950659403.jpg

    Duplicate thread.

    Better to ask the mods to move your other thread over here, than start a new one.

    Enamel on base metal, anyhow. Korean I suspect.

    This stuff is called "Canton Enamel" or at least what us old dealers used to call it. Your piece is VERY tarnished. Normally copper base or sometimes silver-plated copper and enamel.
