Mart,here's my story on these guys. I text them my address and they said ok on our way. So me I don't trust anybody. So I ask my to neighbour to watch out for me. Then I text my wife and told her I have hawk eyes watching out for me in case I get stabbed! I get a text saying alright. Guys show up deal done and leave. After a quick look at the item I text my wife and said that was a waste of 15 bucks,maybe Kass can use it as a jewelry box! Then I get a text saying(by the way the box is over 50 years old and was smuggled from the US(to canada) because of the species of wood. That's when I realized it wasn't my wife I had been texting,oops!!!!

Hi all,I had posted this item a couple of years ago thinking it was a strange cigarette case.shortly after posting I found out what it is. I've searched up and down trying to find it and info on company,no luck. It is marked D.R.P (I know what that stands for) Cabinetta. If anyone can find this you will definitely get a brownie point! Oh you will find a post on a light forum,that was me

This is a Herman Miller mantle clock. I've done a lot of research and found he is most popular for high end furniture. His son Howard is the clock guy! My question is has anybody seen this clock before,found similar but not this one. Sorry one pic at a time
