sorry for the late reply. I've been away. Here are some more pics. you can see in the pics the pressure that is released from the metal clips once unscrewed. It then just slides out from the otherside. All 3 braces are removed this way. All three have 2 metal clips screwed on to them. I also took a pic of the only mark i can find.

hossman, thanks for the info. Yes, i am able to take it apart. I'll have a closer look for other markings.
My girlfriend actually thought it was some kind of butterfly case but i'm pretty sure it isn't for insects since there is no space in between the glass and the padding. This would cause them to be squished up against the glass. But maybe for flora

Picked this up at a yard sale today. The owners thought it was a table of some sort but i don't think that's the case. It is about 3'x2' and weighs about 20-30 pounds. The glass is about 1/2" thick. The only markings i found are a "star" on the 3 braces on the backside. Behind the glass is a 1'2" cotton or wool pad. There is no space in between the glass and the padding. Actually when closing the case, there is pressure pushing down on the padding. The metal clips under the braces kind of act like springs.
Hopefully i link the photos correctly.
Thanks in advance for any info
