"Hi! Congratulations to Master's work."

"Could be, Joost. I only know that this set is a familyset going back three generations."

"I have no idea, The client did only send me some pieces to repair. I have not handled the box"

"See http://picasaweb.google.com/jvreij/Boxes for some examples (left one is the box I describes above, the other 2 are currently for sale at ebay - with contents!)"

"The box I have described above is a very early one. Late 18th or early 19th, is my guess, I have seen later boxes of this type with staples to fix to the bottom and join the wall. Also with nails into the bottom."
