How about a close up of that lid?
Shall we look inside?
How about a close up of the inner plaque?
What could be nestled among those dividers I wonder.
Lets look...
Oooh... Airship tokens! Where on earth could they take us?
E.R. Burroughs Barsoomian Zoo - White bronze, nitric etched, brass brush polish.
Jules Verne Naval Academy - Shibuichi, nitric etched, brass brush polish.
H.P. Love Craft Aquarium - Copper, ferric chloride etched, liver patina.
Lemuria Crystal Mines - Copper, ferric chloride etched, liver patina.
A huge thanks to "The Girl" for doing the finished artwork for the etching and "The Dad" for doing the typography.
*Edit* Corrected for spelling and Answer.
Shibuichi is a Japanese alloy that is 1/4 silver to 3/4 copper. It is a grey pink in color and patinas a variety of different colors depending on what you use.
*Edit 2* I forgot to include the lid close-up. So there it is for Ook.
Those are incredibly nifty!
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Shibuichi alloy?

How close was I on deciphering the plaque atop the box?
The winged wonder said coinage! If it's up to a vote I say she won the prize!!!
