Garage sale finds

[Everester]

So I just started to go to garage sales with making a profit in mind. I used to just go and look for stuff I wanted. I bought about 30 rock records for .25 to .50 each. I also bought 4 old blue ball mason jars with zinc lids for 6 dollars. Last place I stopped had this old box. The guy said he though it was old and from India or somewhere over there. I'm not sure if it is actually old or just made to look old. I spent 10 dollars on it. It is quite large. I figured i could probably double my money on it though. Any thoughts on the box would be much appreciated.

Looks to be quite modern made to look old. Still, for $10, I see no problem in more than doubling your money. Even if it is modern, it's a niece piece to someone who likes foreign decor.
