Those are very nice would love to have some like that for the shelf. I have a few that I have found up here in the UP. Some day I will in pack them and get some pics posted. Just moved in new house and don't have everything unpacked due to long hours at work. Thanks for posting very cool.
Any idea on its age
I know I'm from Wisconsin and on this thread, I should only be seen not heard.
But here is a story to to make you cry;
About 27 years ago my wife and I bought our first house. We didn't have much money and at 22 you can imagine our pay was indicative of our work history.
The house we purchased was originally an 1850's one room stone house whose original owner was a lead miner. Over the years the house had been built out and up, but one addition had a small basement. About 15'x15' and there were brick coal bins, that no longer uses was filled with bricks.....and bottles.
I pulled one bottle or two, they were old real old. Tha basement was dark, damp and only 5 ft tall, with brick floor and walls.
Here's the bad part. At 22 I had zero interest in history or much old. I never dug through those bins I assumed they were full of wolf spiders and I freaking hate spiders. We owned that house for 5 years and I have no idea of all the treasures that were in those two bins and kick myself when I remember that.
