May the wonder of READING always be yours,

Description Only: 
 
  • A beautiful Cherry wood 5 drawer chest hand made (not manufactured) in possibly 1860.  Needs some polish but in beautiful condition.  Two side by side drawers on top and three large ones underneath.  All knobs intact.
  • Clear Depression glass pieces with flower pattern.  Small bowls and 6 custard cups.  Cups have more of a bluish tint.  Very good condition.
  • One of the Literacy Council students, who has been a widower for about 6 years, gave us most of his wife's costume and fine jewelry.  She loved pearls and glass butterflies.  There is a very large amount of jewelry to see.
