    Default Looking antique box post

    A few weeks ago, someone posted a photo of a lovely antique box that they had refinished. It was beautiful, and I wanted to research that type box, but can't remember the name of it. It folded up on hinges I believe, and was maybe setting on an antique sewing machine cabinet. Anyone remember the post? Thanks in advance.

    I think they referred to it as a puzzle box

    If by any chance you had answered the post, you can go back in your own profile and find it that way. Or if you can remember any part of the title of the post, you might get there that way too. Good luck, I know how it is to want to get back to one and cannot remember.

    Sounds like an old sewing box since you mentioned folding up on hinges. Logical place to keep it would be on top of a sewing machine.

    Yes, thank you all. It is the Puzzle Box. Hoping to find something like that for DH to work on. He does some wood working, but has been a bit disabled because of a broken hip, and will be sort of "laid up" for several more weeks. I thought if I could find something small that he could work on while setting may make the time go faster for him. I really like that box, but would settle for just a plane ole box if it will keep him busy! Thanks again.
