Questions & Comments

#
More likely, walnut...and they are still very common in specific parts of India where
an artisan might get, at most, around $5-$6 ( $8 at best ) for exactly such a box.
Design & size abound...Exporters & middlemen pocket the rest as they sell in
the capital city of New Delhi ( where i reside ) for upward of $20 or thereabouts
depending on which market one is visiting.
The emporia catering exclusively to the tourists - on way to Agra - charge the
most - $32 to $50 & possibly $100+ for a larger box / a more intricate design.

I happen to know so much because i buy them to store my coin collection in.

Hi Drew! This looks like Sheesham wood grown in India..It is a durable "burl" type of wood & it was very popular for trinket boxes in the 70's but you don't really see as much anymore..Not too much of it is marketed in the US & when you find it there is always a pretty high price tag.. Most people do not know what it is & us "hippies" did not care back then..lol..I sold one on ebay for $75 last year in 2 days

Regardless this is stunning & hoping to bid. A very happy holiday season to you & yours too :))

Where did you get these neat boxes?

The boxes I have posted as of recent were found as a lot out of an abandoned storage unit out Palm Springs California. =)

could this be a harmonica box? Looks simular to my grandfathers, nice auction.

Measuring the inside perameters , it looks like the harmonica would have to be no greater then 1.5 x 4.25 x 1.25. so yes looks like a harmonica can fit
