Doesn't look it, does it? Thoughts?
Wasn't sure right off what you meant by warped insides, but in scrolling around, passed the pic that shows the inside partially opened to show the...
Agree with Rooz & first letter could be F.
Seem to be coming to some degree of consensus: the cause of the red rust is the hinge pin & it needs to go. But maybe not so easy to get it out...
BTW, in its defense, the great grandmother who was the original owner died in 1877, so case could be 150 years old. Too bad someone somewhere...
This is the opposite side; seller did not take an equivalent photo of the side you're asking about: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Wonder if I...
Mother of pearl. The back is an uncarved piece with no noticeable damage. Both sides look to me as though the MOP is in the form of plaques that...

@kyratango is a terrible enabler for the jewellery addicted, & this card case is the next thing to it. Even comes with a card saying who it was...
Thanks for the encouragement - you can tell I'm looking for an excuse to buy it. I happen to have some fine steel wool on hand but no WD40....
The cameo is gorgeous, but if it were set as jewellery instead of like this, still not sure I'd part with the almost $300 seller is asking. (No...
It's something I'm considering buying on line. I have only pix to go by, but sure looks ferrous, doesn't it? The ornamentation around the cameo...
