The box is made from plywood and is 13 deep 24 wide and 22 tall and HEAVY. The top of the doors are shaped to fit in the lid lip. There are neat little stops here and there - well strategic places. There are little shelves at the top. There is a drawer across the bottom. It recesses so the little drawer pulls don't interfere with the doors when they are shut. The top latches don't work - probably because a hinge is missing screws. The bottom doesn't latch well probably for the same reason. Who ever made it thought it out really well. It had some kind of paper glued to the front of it some time. I half way wonder whether to refinish it or to glue on more paper. I wonder what paper was glued to that box. The ad said it was a sewing box. There IS room enough for a machine but DH says you sure wouldn't want to LIFT it. Well, boxes don't come along around here every day so I went to Dayton after the box. (Thank God for GPS) Crazy me. I took 2 grand kids along. Wilbur's birthday is today so we stopped at the Air Force Museum on our way home. Wilbur now owns it. (Well he thinks he does.) For sure he wants to go back with my Dad who flew on some of those old airplanes. Of course Wilbur is never speechless... Miss L was whiny - she might have been happier if it was a sewing machine museum. I wish they would match up old sewing machines with some of those airplanes. After all sewing machines WERE used to make a lot of that stuff in there on display. If you are in a parachute wearing one of those leather bomber jackets you should be thankful for a sewing machine.... SSOOO what do I do with the box???
Maybe someone knows what the box was used for. SUGGESTIONS welcome of course.
