nightstand (and a collection)



I scored this late 30s Life Savers counter display a few weeks back at the auction. No one was interested in it at all! People are weird. I repainted the inside and put some loose tiles in the bottom shelf since it was a bit rusty, but I love the 3d rolls and worn color graphics down the front. I've narrowed it down to about 1938, since we have Stik-O-Pep but no Choc-O-Mint. Yes that's how you date this sort of thing.

It came with a pic of the store it had been in and some rubber stamps from the store as well.




It's handy bedside. And it has plenty of room for my collection of a few hundred knitting needles & crochet hooks. I like groups of things.
