I hope this is passed down the family and well loved. Such a treasure. I don't think like you I could ever use the items in it, all I would want to do is, look at them and feel them. Beautiful box.

Wow!! What a beautiful box.

My wedding ring was made by my late Father in Law for his Mom. It was carved from an Australian schilling.

that's absolutely gorgeous!! My dad was a George (Jr) too. His father was KIA during WWII, and my dad never met his father.

You have a great treasure, hold onto that forever!! It's in wonderful condition.
