<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10152180, member: 4654&quot;]I don&#039;t think any of them are post 1970&#039;s and I think none of them date before 1950&#039;s, Egyptian or Moroccan would be the best I could come up with as well. The bottom 3 are a cut above the norm and if they were made 60 years earlier they would be very costly, they are often mistaken for Sadeli or Khatam (same process) but not just as fine but saying that the bottom 3 are very good in workmanship. Nice boxes, a friend once bought me one of these thinking it was what I collected, I didn&#039;t have the heart to tell him it wasn&#039;t. I just think because tourism was far more common in the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s many more of these boxes were produced making them far more plentiful than tourist boxes made in the 1860&#039;s-1920&#039;s or maybe just more survived the shorter period?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
