[Sca-cooks] Books on boxes, cutlery and cutlery boxes

[Sharon Gordon]

Saw this on a woodworking list.  I don't know if any spice boxes got
included.  Anyone seen the cutlery book referred to?

For those of you interested in European Locks and Keys along
with many fancy caskets the following is in color:

Goetz sells books on specific arts like glass, furniture, or
painting. There are no problems I know of buying from him.
I've done it for years now. All his catalogs are in German
though, so I have tried to be specific. He takes credit/debit
cards.  INFO at GOETZBUCH.DE

Shows how a number of the locks work from Roman times onward.
Also included are some Asian locks.

Previously the same collection has had books on cutlery and
the cases for it {I didn't buy this one] and one on Caskets.
Those were published by Arnoldsche.de and not nearly as
reasonably priced as this one. Then again they were larger too.

I don't know if it is still available but this is the book on
caskets:
