<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 9524096, member: 8363&quot;]Another box from the donation where I got the 1830 Sarcophagus Tea Caddy.&nbsp; This one is apparently from Howell, James &amp; Co Regent Street London.&nbsp; It is a casket shaped stationary box that bears a brass label that says Howell, James &amp; Co. Regent Street London.&nbsp; It has the original silk lining, and the interior sections seem to be in good condition.&nbsp; One screw is missing from the brass decoration on the edge, but this can be easily repaired, as soon as I locate the right sized screw.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the wood was ebonized and the finish has lots of cracks. The brass name plate is worn, and the key is missing.&nbsp; There is a little loss here and there.&nbsp; It is 8 inches long and 6 3/4 inches tall. The question is when was this made?&nbsp; I see dates for various boxes.&nbsp; One more elaborate one has an 1860 date.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.regentantiques.com/itemDetails/09486-Antique-Ebonised-and-Brass-Stationary-Casket-Howell-James---Co.-19th-Century" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.regentantiques.com/itemDetails/09486-Antique-Ebonised-and-Brass-Stationary-Casket-Howell-James---Co.-19th-Century" rel="nofollow">Antique Ebonised and | Ref. no. 09486 | Regent Antiques</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Any help appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]452094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452103[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
