[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 13124072, member: 5833"]It does. Feel I've seen something similar before, but won't be able to find a photo for comparison. What are the hinge & clasp like? I get a deco vibe. Could date back to then. This is a photo I lifted in 2016: [ATTACH=full]559249[/ATTACH] This is one of mine, pretending to be conch shell: [ATTACH=full]559250[/ATTACH] And this one is just for [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] [ATTACH=full]559251[/ATTACH] In my experience the paint on these is water soluble, so take care if you decide to do any cleaning.
