<p>[QUOTE="Jason Pferdeort, post: 684738, member: 5630"]Hi [USER=63]@cxgirl[/USER] - thank you very much for the two links! I find it interesting that the number of the hinged piece in your link is 8838 and the number on my box is 8839. This leads me to think that - if in a far off scenario - this box is Tiffany then the number is not a sequential number of pieces produced. Rather it would be information pertaining to mold #, worker #, material, etc... sometimes each number represents a different piece of information. Or it could be the 8,839th piece in a line of production - but that would mean there are 8,839+ pieces out there and one would think with our combined searches one would show up. I also think the 8838 marked on the bottom of the "rare" piece shown in the first link is sequential production. It is also interesting that piece marked 8838 is of the same style and is also of the ocean theme. Just thoughts.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]185910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
