    Brook's Spool Cotton Glacé Thread - Wooden Box - 1894 Calendar Lid - Rare. This was a great estate find! A sturdy little wooden box with original hinges and closure, with a peaceful river scene on the exterior, and a stellar 1894 calendar on the interior lid! The inside bottom of the box still has the complete written advertisement in it, and the bottom exterior still has part of the paper label for Brooks soft cotton thread. Not to make a bad pun, but this box checks all the boxes! There is a little bit of grime on the box, but I’ll leave that to the new owner to clean; after I am 127 years old, I suspect I may have a few dirty edges too. Box measures 4-1/4” x 4-1/8” square and 1-3/4” tall.
