Glenn, In that cool blue box drawer, is that a thimble? That is a very interesting spool holder with pinchusion and secret cubbyhole. I like that one a lot!

When station in Germany, the Germans would put there discarded items on the street for the city pick up to land fill. So once a month my wife and I would hit the streets collecting antiques, cigar boxes or what ever was interesting. Needless to say we brought back 13,000 pounds of antiques back with us. We aquired complete sets of china(Rosenthal and Miesen). We had a great time picking these things up off the street that people pay lots of money for.
