Featured Does anybody know where these boxes were made and when?

This photo was from the listing showing how dirty it was.

 

You'd need a really tiny bottle cleaner to get in there. Yike. No wonder nobody touched it. Possibly just as well, since it means no one broke it either.

 

I've never seen one like this being so undercut, there are a few breaks but it's so busy you can't notice them (apart for the corner) I'm very happy with it

 

Into a nice, safe place it goes. Once you're done gloating, at least.

 

Sorry for gloating but secretly I'm bursting with happiness, it's not often you find such a outstanding work in the field of your own collecting.

 

Kudos! Who knew that collecting could be so labour intensive!

 

Tell me about it, I'm having a rest now lol

 

I bought another one of these boxes today without knowing the date or where they were made
I also found another without any info that can help. Am I doomed to never find out when and where these were made?
