Amazing. Do you have provenance on your box?

 

She's been in my family for over 10 years. Inherited it.

 

The box in your link was presented by Prince Charles to Nancy Reagan. That's pretty heavy provenance. It can make a big difference. (Whether it should is a different issue.)

 

Heritage says the hallmarks on their box are for 1956, when Charles was 7 & not yet POW and Reagan was more than 20 years from being POTUS.

 

Provenance really needs to be supported by documentation.

 

In that case!

 

Heritage didn't even put up a photo of the stamps, which could be used to accurately determine the year. I think there's some mistake. The year of my is 2005, which confirms the brand (f)

 

then why did u put your age as 23..........?

 

I apologize for my English. I'm 23 years old. A snuffbox made in 2005

I got a response from Heritage. They have a clear error in the description of the lot =)

 

This makes me think the 'a' date letter is for 2000:

All right. They have already corrected their mistake =)
