Default Hengstenberg

Advertised on CL for $20 - pic of case only. It was the husband's grandmother's. When she died, he took it for his wife to sew on. Didn't have a key and couldn't open it, so it sat in the basement for years. Had no idea what was in it. My hubby took the key from our grandfather clock and it opened. Look at what was inside. It was an OMG moment. It's a 1899 Hengstenberg - J. Silberg Mother of Pearl inlays, Hand Crank w/wood top cover - #550907. Manufactured in Bielefeld, Germany. Even got an oil can.
