<p>[QUOTE="Rclinftl, post: 10134868, member: 78249"]a little research indicates that this LOCKING egg cabinet is probably Edwardian (1900-1910) although I can't confirm that - it has small signs of worm activity - and an old skeleton key lock - but why ? why would they have had a need to lock up the eggs ? historically it comes before WWI - the depression - prohibition - when things mayhave been more precious - why lock up eggs ?
