<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 10364255, member: 36"]They did the painting, and then added the hardware. A truely old box would have done the opposite. From the engraving on the hasp I'd say India too. I'd wonder if the painter had family/friends in South Africa. The pigeons and most birds look Indian, but one looks like a penguin! Some penguins migrate to South Africa, and so did a lot of Indians for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
