    Finally found the wood wine box I had packed these in maybe 15 years ago when I moved my mom to TX. They used to belong to my grandparents. I remember playing with them as a child. Still have some old pennies in them!

    I cant remember a time when Ive seen ones in such great original condition ! I think the bank market has fallen a bit,but these might be in a different bracket.

    Well thank you. As we go though these things, we are trying to decide what to keep and what to sell. As I posted in my intro, I am sorting through so much stuff and much of it has to go.
    My daughter is going to list it all on her etsy eventually, but before she does I will post some For Sales on the this forum's page if anyone here is interested.
