[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 382063, member: 2844"]I was thinking of Italy too, but other countries used simply 800 as well. Italy used 800 without an oval cartouche until 1934, when the oval cartouche was introduced along with other marks. But Italy is notoriously sloppy with marking. Although Italy has had an interest in things Oriental and North African for centuries, these boxes don't strike me as Italian. But we really need to know which mark goes with which box.[/QUOTE]
