<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 47883, member: 313"]This cute piece just came in today and we are trying to find out a few things about it. It is a miniature Salesman Sample made of wood, with hand carving & wood pin construction. It measures about 9 inches high (with the lid closed), 11-1/2 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. The fasteners in the lower base section are made of wood, while metal nails are used for the top. The top appears to have been glued to the base at one time, but is loose now. The underside of the top has an old label (see picture 5) which reads CMV H.67 with writing that looks like a fountain pen.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first question is "what is this?". We think it is a dry sink, but would like some additional opinions. Second, does anyone see anything that suggests its origin? We suspect English or European, but don't have anything else to go on. The last question is how old it is? I[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
