I agree with all above; best to do as ghopper says and put on a proper solid oak top, but materials cost would be quite high. Since you're willing...
Sure, and it is safe to say the ones you pictured are also for the tourist trade. Thanks for the info, very helpful. At least I know it isn't a...
I don't buy antiques on ebay for many reasons, but I know enough about American antiques to distinguish real knowledge from BS, and will note that...
I liked the face even though I can't figure out whether this is a one off tourist piece (make em what they'll buy) or whether it has any ethnic...
Yes, indeed, completely. So early 20th century folk art from Tzintzuntzan. I really like it, even though it is absolutely worthless in its current...
So my few cents, if even worth that, are that although the decoration style seems more german blue onion, the bottom and construction look more...

It's called a blind rabbet joint, and it looks to be from the 20th century, made by a power saw. Nothing about the box speaks much age. Would...
