[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 702554, member: 84"]I got this at a local thrift store last week-end. The owner told me he bought it from a woman who told him it was her Armenian husband's jewelry case he used when traveling to sell jewels. (I thought it was a antique tool chest) One of the cool features is the front cover comes off completely when you open the top - and stays on when you close it because the top cover pushes down on a pin that goes into a hole in the front cover, securing it in place! A sophisticated design feature for something that is as old as I think/hope it is. Is this a jeweler's case? If not what was it designed for? How old is it? Is it rare or valuable? I appreciate any help!
