I decided to take it out, dust it off and show it off!
She and Grandpa married in 1898. He took a small case with drawers and she lined it with some velveteen. He drilled holes in the bottom drawer and put a few pegs in it for spools of thread. Some of the needles are still in the glass tubes!! I included pics of all the drawers.
What a great item to have. Wish it was mine. Thanks for sharing. Those were the days when quilts were really quilts. Some of the quilting today looks more like paintings and while they are gorgeous, they are not something I want to curl up under on a cold day. Diane in Garnet Valley, PA
