<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 2483345, member: 4654&quot;]I need say no more than Jeff really other than everyone wants their piece to be the best the world has ever seen. Unfortunately this box screams 1920 onwards, it&#039;s not an apprentice piece or even a blanket box and probably the only hand tool it ever saw was a screwdriver to do up the hinges. There are many 1000&#039;s of 19th c inexpensive handmade boxes out there of this type, all that needs to be done is some quick research into construction and finishing, I may add that wood age is almost impossible to fake, the natural oxidation is very hard to reproduce with chemicals, and the chemicals themselves are hard to obtain. I live in the UK, and I will admit there are many differences between countries and their constructions but if your going to collect knowledge is key, fortunately you have many lifelong collectors at you fingertips to ask before you buy on this site. Please don&#039;t take offence if someone tells you your piece isn&#039;t the best, I don&#039;t think there is anyone on here that wouldn&#039;t rather say &quot;WOW it&#039;s the best I ever seen, it must be worth a fortune&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
