Well that too, but more surprised, first. 'Cause I'm only a n00bie here...
Ah OK. Interesting. Just that I noticed a lot of my stuff has become 'Featured', that's all. So I was a bit surprised.
A little something I made to store them in safety, away from dust, grit and scratches. Made of cardboard, leather and red velvet. The case-design...
Thanks Susan. Pity it isn't more precise...
When did the requirement for such markings begin?
I couldn't possibly sell these. But I will try to make a case for them. I'm basing what I'll be making off of a case I saw on eBay. It's kinda...
I have no reason to doubt the engraving.
Hi! Yes there is a (faded) bumblebee trademark on the glasses. And "63" nearby. But that's it. I know the bumblebee is the LeMaire trademark....

Thanks for the feedback, ladies and gentlemen. I wish I could photograph it in a way which made it look better than it does, in those pictures,...
It's done! It's done! It's done!! [img] A working key and lock!! [img] Opened up. Clean and pretty :) [img] [img] Silver-plated propelling...
All done! Got the key for it. And I also got a beautiful ivory page-turner for it, which will now replace the bone-folder.
Hah, thanks :) I'm trying to determine how old this box is. The date on it is 1882. But I doubt that's when the box was purchased. I know this...
[IMG] [IMG] Picked up a small-sized bone-folder at my local art & craft joint. Yes, it's real bone. Next step: Finding a key.
