Curious Old Pewter Cradle Shaped Box with Baby! wooden crate with lable should one be so lucky

should one be so lucky as to have lots of things in the $900 range:)) And hard to beat the great surface and super inky black against creamy white

this came from an old New England mill

and maybe especially

without a chipped or cracked block that I can see

Curious Old Pewter Cradle Shaped Box with Baby! wooden crate with lable should one be so luckyAnother very unusual one, which I have tried hard to find out something about, with no luck at all, including attempts to trace the mark. A box for storing silver diaper pins? A container for a child's ashes? A mold? I really have no idea, but find it quite an evocative and slightly haunting object. Definitely pewter and I assume British, with a mark that looks to read ICH together with a lion. If you know more than I do about this, please share! 4 9
