Subject:Maker Marks on Long decorative Box
Posted By: Angie Tue, Mar 17, 2015 IP: 184.56.16.63
Hello, This box is reddish brown in color and has a flip lid with Rose designs on top, and what appear to be foo dogs on each end. It feels like plastic? VERY smooth but heavy. It measures: 10 3/4" x 3 1/2" and is 2" tall. I would like to know what this would be used for, and what the maker marks on the bottom read. Thank you for your time and help.

Hello Angie,

You are right that your box is molded. I saw a display of the same box in a tourist souvenir shop in Vietnam or Cambodia in the past two weeks. I may have a photo but it will be buried among thousands of photos on the sd card. I will post the photo if I find it in the next few days.

I assume that it is a writing box for pen and pencil.

Thank you very much! At least now I know what it could be used for. Thank you again. Any Idea about the marking on the bottom?

Angie, Here is the photo of the molded boxes that I was looking for. They were seen in a gift shop in Cambodia, but may have originated anywhere in SE Asia.
