<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 382885, member: 55"]Just suggesting some possibilities; and some jeweler's and clockmaker's tools are very small; but what I mean is that the inner tray, and the quality of construction, make me think this was made for storage of something useful, not purely decorative, and there are a great many things that could fit a coffin-shaped case; almost anything that is wide near one end, and narrow at the other. And given the tray, perhaps a set of two or more similar items. Spare nibs for drafting pens, might be another thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
