Do you happen to remember if she knew a makersname or something like that? Anyway, great info, I already had a hunch it could be Indian ;)<br />And yeah, they look great don't they (not very useful though, still haven't figured out whether you could actually put something more then a cellphone in it without it falling out whenever you open it) but indeed very steampunk, as was my first thought too :D <br />Shame they're not as old as they seem in first glance, but still wonderfully original cases to have, like you said :)<br />Now I'm actually curious to see other similar cases, since mine is slightly more decorated then yours (it has pleats, like some sort of pillow) there might be even more decorated ones out there, maybe also from other materials or something ilke that. <br />But: already glad I happened to stumble up on your blog :) because if I had actually ment to look it up I wouldn't even have known where to begin, since I have no idea what it actually is. So thanks a lot for the info anyway! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731323258999060098.post-10617106880874870902012-07-07T19:44:19.017-07:002012-07-07T19:44:19.017-07:00Hello, anonymous Belgian commenter!

A few months after writing this post about the mysterious case I met another woman from Portland OR who had bought a similar case, also thinking it was an antique. She said she later found out that these cases were made in India in the 1970's. <br /><br />You paid about the same as she and I did. Though the cases may be only a little vintage and not antique, they are still wonderful.Serena Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715945008112279868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731323258999060098.post-75453554739285469012012-07-07T08:17:26.860-07:002012-07-07T08:17:26.860-07:00Hi,
I don't know whether you'll read this...Hi,<br /><br />I don't know whether you'll read this but I certainly hope so!<br />You know that cute Steampunk case<br />which you think might be for opera glasses?<br />I have a little brother/sister just like it !<br /><br />Exept for the fact it's gold <br />and looks a bit more like <br />a pillow (more decoration to it). By crazy coincidence I found a<br />photo of your little case when I<br />was searching for pictures of <br />antique traveling cases :D<br /><br />I don't know whether you'll read this, but I certainly hope so! <br />Maybe I could send you some <br />pictures of mine, might be fun to <br />have something to compare it with <br />since they're probably both rare.<br /><br />I don't know anything about the <br />case myself, bought it a couple of <br />months a go in a junkshop for <br />around €10 (I live in a tiny <br />country called Belgium somewhere <br />in Europe)and I only know it kind <br />of looks Art Deco to me, so indeed <br />someting 20/30's maybe? But for <br />the rest, no idea who made it or <br />where it's from or something like <br />hat. Which is a shame because I'm <br />so intrigued by it !<br /><br />If you happen to read this and <br />would like to see my case, I'd <br />love to send you some pictures! If <br />that'd be okay for you ofcourse ;) <br />So if that would be the case: I'd <br />love to hear from you :)<br /><br /><br />Kind regards and greeting from teeny tiny Belgium :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731323258999060098.post-30652599344051124092009-10-15T07:22:35.377-07:002009-10-15T07:22:35.377-07:00I'm loving your Hunting and Gathering posts - ...I'm loving your Hunting and Gathering posts - I always enjoy seeing what others discover and it looks like you are a pro!Dayna Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080849301800063615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731323258999060098.post-34366752160216756762009-09-01T19:07:46.797-07:002009-09-01T19:07:46.797-07:00Hi Jessica,
