I took this box that has been in my family for as long as I can remember to the Antique Roadshow MANY years ago and was told that it was very valuable because it is Theorems 1920s. The picture is on paper and is composed of tiny x's. I have never been able to find any information about this item based on what I was told at the Antique Roadshow. I recently stumbled on some other possibilities of information when I did a search under "Folk Art" ~ The words Fraktur and Taufschein brought up pictures that resembled my picture to some degree and were called, Pennsylvania German and Pennsylvania Dutch. I am wondering if what I have might indeed be such an item. Any Help Would Be MUCH Appreciated...
