    Brook's Spool Cotton Glacé Thread - Wooden Box - 1894 Calendar Lid - Rare. This was a great estate find! A sturdy little wooden box with original hinges and closure, with a peaceful river scene on the exterior, and a stellar 1894 calendar on the interior lid! The inside bottom of the box still has the complete written advertisement in it, and the bottom exterior still has part of the paper label for Brooks soft cotton thread. Not to make a bad pun, but this box checks all the boxes! There is a little bit of grime on the box, but I’ll leave that to the new owner to clean; after I am 127 years old, I suspect I may have a few dirty edges too. Box measures 4-1/4” x 4-1/8” square and 1-3/4” tall.
    I am more than happy to combine shipping on my items; please request an invoice after you get everything in your cart. Reasonable offers on large mixed lots are considered. I am on the road a lot in North Carolina, Virginia and occasionally South Carolina, and I am happy to arrange a safe meeting to save you postage. I try to use recycled packing material, with nods to the environment and to your shipping cost. Shipping quotes come from eBay’s program, and I make an effort to have correct shipping weights and prices. Most of my items are estate finds, and are stored in a smoke and pet free environment. if you need extra information, please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking!
