Re: diamond dye display case
<p>These were a very hot item during the peak of the Victorian market, but values have since cooled. In the last year at auction these cabinets have sold in the $350.00- 1500.00 range, the majority selling for about $800.00.</p><p> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>
Re: diamond dye display case
I just saw this on Antiques Roadshow this week but the picture was different. The one they filmed in Utah. It was in a little better condition but it was 1500-2500.00 ... cool!!
