CupOfTea Pricing grandad's button box (11) RE: Pricing grandad's button box 11 Aug 15

The button box came from Canada, but it's around the corner from me in Cleveland right now. I'll try to get a picture & better look at it.

It is about the same sort as what Peter shows, but more elegant, and in much better shape. The wood is not beat up at all, and the buttons are just buttons, not levers, I think the grill was inset, possibly metal, and the 4 hasps that are like trunk closures on Peter's illustration are much less sturdier looking on this one - more like flat hooks, screwed down.

I've gotten so curious that I might lust after this for myself, were I not committed to concertina, and desirous of something finer than my Stagi.

Thanks for your comments

Joanne, squeezing away in Cleveland
