<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 294988, member: 5170&quot;]Hey all:</p><p><br /></p><p>This little walnut box measures 10&quot; wide x 8&quot; deep x 6.5&quot; tall. No markings. The compartmentalized tray is currently supported by a make-do new candle stand so that it will be level with the top of the box opening. Whatever may have supported it originally is long gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The neat things about it are the heart-shaped escutcheon and the faux-graining that was only done on one side of the box, obviously by hand. Both lend a kind of innocent charm.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was purchased in U.S. midwest about 10 years ago. Although I can&#039;t tell where it was made, I&#039;m going to guess it was around 1820-30 or so. I&#039;ll say replacement is about $100, although of course it can&#039;t be replaced. Would you agree?[ATTACH=full]95864[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]95865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]95866[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the marbles were made by John Hammon Miller of Hannibal, MO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
