English: Rectangular, with rounded corners, curved sides, and slightly curved lid. Hollowed out section of burlwood features gold band that wraps around the circumference of lid's bottom edge, on which is a continuous Greek key design in white enamel. Lid catch on front features a small diamond square attached to gold and enamel band, from which a small diamond pendant is hinged, which snaps over a single diamond in order to lock lid shut. Reverse features two white enamel loops, each attached below a hinge. Oblong, cross-hatched, gold piece attached to bottom serves as striker. |

| Inscriptions | Possible maker's mark impressed in diamond shape, only partially legible. Additional, possibly maker's name, appears to be "JANESICH" (however, the "J" is blurred and may in fact be another letter). Third stamp is an eagle's head for France (possibly Paris). All marks stamped on intereior bezel of lid. With regard to possible maker's marks, the blue Brenner books in AAID notes the following: "Marked, 'Halsi-.' Maker: M. JANESICH." I do not see Halsi nor the letter M. anywhere on the box. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
