I have found a small brass box with an art deco-style design etched on the top. The etching is filled with white. The inside of the box is lined with a red velvet material. On the bottom of the box is a stamped script signature, but it's not quite readable. It looks like L____ Sp_____ with both the first and last name ending in a 'tall' letter like a d or l. I would like to find out anything I can about who this maker might be, when the item may have been produced, and what it's original use was since I would not think a pillbox would be padded.
I appreciate any information or leads. Thanks!

I think that this piece, although damaged (see detail of handle and spout), and repaired, is gorgeous. I have exhausted every other (free) resource and have had no luck finding out exactly what I have here. I normally don't pay $50 for something I can't identify, but I had a good feeling about this and really liked the piece. I am relatively certain that it is neither Chinese nor Japanese, notwithstanding the clear Oriental influence. I believe it might be English, and I think it might be old. If you have any ideas, I would be greatful to know your thoughts. Thanks in advance to all who help.

On one side is raised engraving with "1786" on one side and "Santa Barbara" engraved on the opposite side. The piece is in excellent condition and appears to be cast of brass. The ringer is intact and has a very nice tone.
I am extremely interested in the History of this bell and the "Religious 1874 French Bell" I posted a few days ago.
ANYONE WHO CAN GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON THE HISTORY AND VALUE OF THESE 2 BELLS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
