    These are the only two I have (please ignore the biggest one which is not the type I'm taliking about), I really love tortoiseshell but for some reason I'm trying hard not to buy more, so I need something similar to collect instead! The only ones I can find are made in MOP and abalone, nice but just a 7/10 to me. Are there any other materials they are made of? Do they ever come in wood veneer?

    Or if someone can recommend something similar? No bigger than 10cm x 10cm, ideally length under 6cm, with complete structure such as hinged lid and little feet.

    Yeah I'm thinking about bidding on this one, but the condition is a bit worse than the ones I currently have:hungover:

    Thanks but nah, I‘ve seen a lot in better condition and pattern, but just forgot to add some extra 10 to 20 quids thus lost the auction :wacky: I'm bidding on another one, similar size and shape but in MOP veneer
