Hello

Embedded images (as with your Chinese cigarette box) will probably get a better response.

Hi Silversurf,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please keep your images to 7" max., otherwise viewers with smaller monitors will not see the whole photo.

OK, Thank you.
I put it to 1000 wide as it said.

What is a better number to put image as ?

The maker is Y Konoike of Yokohama, circa 1900.

For an ad of Konoike's, see the CES Far East section of the Contributor's Notes.

This would be a good example of Konoike's mark to include along with that ad.
