Any information that can be given on this pie safe would be appreciated. My husband and I bought it from a friend who was moving to Alaska and could not take it with her. She said it had been in her family for several generations, but she wasn’t sure how old it was. It is solid walnut except for the screen doors over the shelves at the top. I would like to eventually add knobs and fix the hinges at the bottom so that that part of the safe can be used, so any help with ideas on how to fix it or what appropriate hardware to use would be appreciated as well. THANKS! :)*More pictures available if needed.
Hi! I was hoping someone could help me find out more information about this very unique table. To give you a little background information on this.. I came across a garage sale in my neighborhood where this cute old couple were selling things before they retired to Hawaii. I came across this table, and the gentlemen told me he used to work for the Hallmark company in the 1940’s making wooden displays for stores around the nation. This table was used as an advertisement for customers. Owners of Hallmark stores would come to these display making companies and pick out the wood they wanted for their card displays. (Hence the different types of wood on top). He said in the 70’s is when they retired this sort of practice.
I was wondering if anyone has seen anything like this before or can get me in touch with someone who might have more information.. then what I already know. I’m also wondering about the value of this unique table.
