    Sorry for beating dead horse. Just thought, the ends on the bigger one work like a buckle, would a chair have that sort of end? I can totally see these as being part of a chair. So am just musing aloud.
    I'll put them with a tonne of other stuffs in a dark corner, come across them again in maybe years and start the process all over again!

    Yay! It looked British military to me too, but I'm not a Brit so wdik.:wacky::playful:
    So I guess the leather came off the metal brackets? If you strap it too tight for too long, that metal will wear through leather.

    Something like that must have happened xxx
    I wonder if the buckle on the bigger one was put on later? (Or is it how it was supposed to be and just lookes different because there's no leather or anything? )

    I think the skinny one is newer than the broader one from what I have gleaned ( but as always I get mixed up!) xx

    @komokwa ... thank you for your advice, re. my box...I took it and I think (hope) it's better now. Am always panick-y in case I make things worse. This box is beautiful <3

    (Sorry about flash burn.
    It's so dark here and I took a million pics. These believe it or not are the best)

    I am positive it looks better now, this was exactly what it needed, such beautiful wood.:happy:
    :rage:
    That one is from northern India or Nepal imo. The other one probably from Kashmir, northwestern India. Beautiful and good quality.:)

    I had that Bournville tin when I collected tins. Those are sandwich markers. Think Abigail's Party.
