Prop Project: The Box of the Hand of Count Petofi

Did the murderous hatpin get along with the others I wonder?

[Lydia]

My notes tell me that I saw this box again in parallel time, in episodes 1051 and 1052, in its usual our-time position in the upstairs hall.  This is very strange.  I assume that Angelique was responsible for the box being there, and...well...this is very strange.

Back in our time, the box was again seen in the upstairs hall, outside David's room in episode 1075.  Meanwhile, the other box was in the hall outside Hallie's room, in episodes 1072 and 1074.

[Lydia]

We see this box in its usual spot in the upstairs hall outside David's room again in episode 1086.  I like the idea of using boxes to differentiate halls - one box out side David's room, the other box outside Hallie's.  I'm happily imagining Collinwood as a rabbit warren of little halls, and guests using the various boxes as a precursor to GPS.

I saw the box in the upstairs hall in episodes 1091, 1095, 1098, and 1104.  Then we went to 1840, and I thought we would never see it again, until it turned up in the hall outside of Daphne's room in episode 1188.

[Lydia]

The box is in the drawing room in the 1680 flashback in episode 1231.  I am ashamed to confess that I didn't notice it until I saw it in a capture int the fill-ins board.

[Lydia]

It looks as though the PT1680 appearance was the last one for the box.

There is no doubt that the box first appeared in episode 2.  Its second appearance is in episode 4.
