A collector told me that they the owners put important information or stuff that was important to them in these secret drawers because who would have thought to look in a sewing machine. The guy I met today I showed the pictures was in awe of the photos. I cannot wait to print them up. I am tracing the Gentlemans information I think this would be something the family would love to have it is in perfect condition like it was done today. If I cannot find I might see if our local history museum would like them. The union paper is very cool!!
