Ground base-rim speaks of quality, all by itself. Very nice, indeed...Thanks!
I was walking from the car to a restaurant not too distant, in the pitchfork rain as is dirt-common hereabouts. Waiting for the crosswalk signal...
The first pic is the interior of the box; the second is the cover interior. Some of these lacquer boxes have a 3rd part: a simple, flat panel...
Would never have occurred to me! Funny how blind we can be in spite of a long life. I'll get you pics, for sure.

Very attractive, Illielee! Thanks!
These pics are all I can manage with flash, and the last one is poor. Tomorrow, in the sunshine, I will do better on the close-up of the mark. But...
Are you kidding? You must live underground!
