~~~ and rarely went over "One thousand," though Mexico is a possibility... and most likely French made. There are photos in a few California collections showing the cabinets; French made... There was also one posted here not too long ago. There is also documentation that operators paid as much as $50,000 a month to rent space in some of the hotels... and I think that was in 1852. Gold must have been flowing like water in those days.
