The mystery of this charm, who made it and what was it used to hold? A single pill? A tiny love note? A snippet of hair or fur? I can’t know what this one once held, but I do know it will now have a new chapter with a new owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003evintage sterling silver miniature box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e appears to have been fabricated by hand rather than mass produced.
