<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9528683, member: 4654&quot;]I think you have most of it, stationary box, 1860&#039;s-1890&#039;s, ebony wood veneer (as far as I can tell), An easy restoration job, 1 right sized Nettlefolds brass screw, a small bit of ebony inlay (no grain matching needed), the brass will need polishing and finish with French polish, the act of French polishing will smooth over the cracked old polish. The key might be harder to find, I restore antique boxes and I have 200 or so keys of age (all box size) and even I can&#039;t always find one that fits. It&#039;s a good box to learn on as the ebony is very forgiving when inlaying a missing piece and finishing isn&#039;t that hard with ebony either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
