A steal for $42, but what was this used for?
Went to the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store and found this beauty for $50. Then there was this 20% off discount because it was furniture. Needless to say I left a nice donation check as well.
My question is about this container I found in the top drawer of the cabinet. There is a place specifically for it, so I believe it is part of the original sewing package. The top is a double layer with a hole in the bottom layer that a ball bearing fits into. The machine is a 1945 Singer 15-90.
Anybody have a clue?

it looks like an old inkwell, we used o have in our scool desks. maybe the cabinet was a combo sewing and desk? Also the recessed part on the left would be for pens or quills. It maybe an add on because the woods seem different. Just grabbing at ideas.lol
