Sorry for the delayed response. I just saw your post. To be honest, I have very little info on these ring boxes as they are not marked by the manufacturer. But if I ever find out, I promise to share it in here. What I do know is that your box is in beautiful condition and I love the contrast on the interior between the ivory satin and the black velvet. I think it's so sweet that your sister bought this for you. Please keep in touch. All the best, CJ
Thank you! I love your collection and enjoy your postings. Happy Holidays!

I was wrong about these boxes not being marked, because they are but it is inside under the silk lining. All of my boxes are lined and the lining is glued to the box so I never saw it. They are marked J.C. Warner Co. Buffalo N.Y. and pat. appl'd for. I found a pic online of an exposed box and I will post it in my Show & Tell listings. Happy Holidays! -CJ
Thanks for telling me. Makes perfect sense they would mark them out of sight.
