Your welcome. You accidentally had something i knew about in advance.

My brain has cob-webby corners and secret rooms and drawers with all kinds of unusual things hidden in them. Not all useful, and some probably not even real.

The 2nd type look a lot like one that I bought in a gift shop some 10 years ago. The fragment is old, but set into a new metal box/frame. very nice though. I use mine for name cards.

Best regards,
Willem

Thanks; funny I never noticed these before and now it seems that I might be getting another one in with an Oriental lot that I just won at auction.

And once you find a thing of interest, they seem to find you. Strangely enough, I encountered another piece in a group lot; it is somewhat larger, as it measures 6" x 9".After kronckew put me on the right path, I did a little research and found that they are still being made today, that the age varies as do the prices, so I will buy what I like and afford(hopefully), what I buy.
