Inscribed on the base of this box are Peter’s initials and the date of completion, January 26, 1995. This date is not present on later models due to mold deterioration. Crown Stamp with Treble clef stamped on BASE indicates this piece was made sometime from July 1995 to autumn 1996 after which the stamp was applied to the bottom of the lid.
It is mentioned in HK Reference Guide that the top beaver's tail in early pieces had “Claire” and “Luka” inscribed, but Ive not seen this version. (nor any other collectors asked)
