I'm NOT usually one of those people!! That's why I called it a major score hahaha
Funny thing, my Dad wanted to name my sister or me Virginia but my Mom vetoed the idea. :D
Thanks for all the comments- I'm super excited!!

Great find. I found one on Craigslist. Could you tell me in the top drawer at the left what is that? Does it have a cup under it? Any lettering on it?

Yes it does have a cup. I think it may be for pins?? It says bakelite and the jar is glass. The 1st and 2nd drawers are so cool. Lots of inserts, even a built in pincushion.

I love how wonderful American craftsmanship was back in the day.

Awesome find! The Virgina looks like she was well loved, and now she will have another wonderful home.

The 4 drawers are stuffed with attachments, notions, even pinking shears!!!
I'm so excited- the cost? 15.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked up for info- it's a 77 and the cabinet was made in 1941.

YOU GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL THERE, THE CABINET IS AS OLD AS I WILL BE IN 3 DAYS, BUT IN BETTER SHAPE.
