    I love boxes that are different. It's a black box with a ship on the top. MB on the inside and a name that starts with a M and can't figure out the rest , but has the number 89 after it on the underside. I bought at A consignment shop. It looks old. Can't find it anywhere on the internet.

      What and where?

      Snuff box ... but looks modern.

      I don't think it's a modern box. Don't know if it's a snuff box or not. But looks a bit large for that.

      Can you photograph the inside with the name etc.? Would you tell me how the material on the top feels to the touch; does it look like the top has been glued on? What's the box made of?

      Welcome to CW from the question lady.

      Looks like it could be celluloid.

      The inside has MB , it looks like ceramic . I am trying to figure out how to put more photos on this page. Smooth around the top. I am not sure what it is made of.

      You can go to your original post, edit and remove and replace photos.
