<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9593074, member: 5398&quot;]I don&#039;t have any questions about this antique rosewood sewing box that belongs to my sister, but I wanted to share it because of all the interesting things inside. What&#039;s kind of amazing is that her husband bought it earlier this year for $1.50 at a thrift store run by volunteers in a small town in Wisconsin. If I lived closer, I&#039;d be there every day looking for similar bargains, but I suspect this was a once-in-a-lifetime find. </p><p><br /></p><p>My sister doesn&#039;t plan to sell it (at least for now), just has it displayed on top of a small chest of drawers made by our great grandfather. It includes ivory thread spools, other ivory items, a little leather-covered notepad with pencil, a leather covered needle box, a teeny leather-covered book, some carved mother of pearl items, a little walnut shell pin cushion with hand-painted velvet, several paper items, a photo (tin type?) of maybe the owner? of the box, and other items.
