Back in June I posted a thread on what I thought was an antique wooden sarcophagus shaped box here for id and found out my box wasn't even old and was a newer Bombay Store type contemporary one. That was a purchase I am still kicking myself over, :( :oops:. I took another chance and purchased another wooden box on ebay and am afraid it might not be Victorian and another dumb purchase. I hope not, lol. When it came it was filthy. I used pledge furniture polish and shined it up. The grime that came off of it was so gross. If it is not old, no big deal because I paid under $25 bucks for it with shipping included so it won't be an expensive lesson.
