    Well, this box has been around the block a few times. Looks to be made out of a type of clay. The figures on the lid had faces, once upon a time. One still has a bit of face left. The box measures 3 1/2"x 2 1/2". I attempted several times to look up the "FCW 491" mark and was directed toward silver marks. Wrong. I also tried "FGW 491" and got bupkus.
    This little box does have a use for me, so I will put it in my workroom to hold all the loose stones which are used for repair.

    If anybody has a clue about my beat up trinket box, I'd love to hear from you.

    Thanks!!

      @Thomas - I am wondering the same thing. I've not seen a lid with ridges on the inside.
