[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 3945198, member: 649"]I finally bit the bullet and treated myself to one of my bucket list antique items. It looks so nice, I wondered if it was one of [USER=2417]@Poisonivy[/USER] projects! Photos here are from the seller and are better than any photos I would take myself, and I have not yet received the box. It was listed as Regency, is that correct? (Just how does one determine the age of these sewing boxes? What does one look for?) I find it so interesting that, in the center of the accessories tray, two little ?needle? keepers slide into the right and left sides of the center boxed area. (In the last photo, they have been pulled out.) The inside is in such wonderful condition, I assume it’s been refurbished? It’s missing the key, any leads for acquiring a replacement? Also, one of the wood handle rings is broken (not pictured) and the other is missing, I’m wondering if something like this 1.5” brass ring (from buckleguy dot com) would be an acceptable replacement.
