My husband bought this box at an auction a few years ago. I just pulled it out today and gave it a good over. I also have a jewelry box. This ship piece is absolutely gorgeous. it catches my eye because my grandfather was a painter and his best and favorite work was always his ships. The box looks like a name was etched in. The Inoclay C also has a year. 1979. I havent seen that in any of my research. There is also a number 1 sticker on the bottom. Does anyone have any insight? My first post. I'm not sure how to add pictures!
