Wooden FILE BOX
« on: November 20, 2014, 06:10:14 pm »
Hello,
This is my post ever on a forum so please forgive me if I did it incorrectly.

I bought a wooden file box today at auction in NC. I loved the look of it but now am very curious as to what its purpose was and contents (and if I paid too much).


Thanks for all and any help!

Hello and welcome;
Offhand, I would say it's a watch crystal cabinet?

What does it say ?? Can`t read it !! You mean those shiny things are crystals still in the box ?? I thought it was camera glare !! The crystals can be worth money as well as the faces  !!
