<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 4325240, member: 88&quot;]This was bought as part of a table lot from that never-ending estate auction that was happened over the last few months. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is large measuring 13 1/2&quot; by 9 3/8&quot; across the bottom &amp; 6&quot; to the top of the lid. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is carved but I don&#039;t know if it was done by hand or not. I am also unsure of the type of wood but possibly some type of oak. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It has a removable upper tray that appears to have been stripped of most of its cloth covering. The bottom portion is divided into 3 sections. The one velvet sect has a round raised spot with a depressed center possibly to hold a jar of some sort that measures 2&quot; across the depressed area. There is a slotted piece in the back of that area that could possibly be for rings. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lid does not have anything that would keep the lid vertical like a chain &amp; there doesn&#039;t appear to have ever been one present. Consequently, the lid goes all the way back to a horizontal position. </p><p><br /></p><p>There also is obviously something missing from the lid. The material is ripped &amp; there is a wooden frame of sorts underneath. I thought possible a mirror but it is off-center &amp; there are 2 pieces of wood that form a channel off to the right.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So what does everybody think - jewelry box, makeup box, sewing box, or other? </p><p><br /></p><p>Homemade OAK or mass-produced? Pre-1900s, post-1900s, or later? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359284_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359286_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359288_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359291_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359293_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359295_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359301_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359282_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359289_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359298_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1093359300_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any &amp; all advice or opinions!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
