![]() Would guess that this box was made by one of the successor firms, perhaps in sort of a middle period, since it still uses a classical motif (The Three Graces) of the type favored by the creators but a less expensive manufacturing technique in the glued-on hinge, which may also reflect advances in the field of adhesives. I believe it has been sold at least one more time after that. ![]() The original Incolay Studios only lasted for about a decade because the man who invented the polymer material passed away & his wife sold the firm. When I read that the hinge is glued on, not screwed in, I thought, Oh, then it's not genuine Incolay, because I have read that one indicator of the real McCoy is the screw-attached hinge & the Incolay jewelry box I have does have the hinge attached that way.īut the sticker & the impressed copyright mark clearly indicate your box is also genuine Incolay Stone, so have to conclude that hinge attachment method no sure indicator of authenticity.
