I received a "new" 1947 FW yesterday. It cracks me up to see some of the things you find in these old cases. There were tiny bits of rolled paper with short lengths of string wrapped around them. The keys for the case were in it, along with another key. The extra key had a piece of paper tied to it with a note saying, "don't know what this key fits." My favorite was a piece of folded paper with a sewing machine needle stuck through it. It was labeled-machine needle-80-16, bent." That was only in one cubby! I am going to spend the rest of the day sorting through and sifting out the goodies in this one. I've found buttons, mini thread spools, a spoon, and I've only just begun. This one is a treasure trove!
