cool jewelry box
« on: April 24, 2010, 07:30:57 pm »
Today I came across this cool jewelry box.  The lid and box itself are cloth covered and the lid looks like cross-stitching but it's actually smooth.  I can't find anything about this on google.  Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome ladyphenom!  Are there any labels or marks on the bottom of the box?

I just happen to have one. Mine is a little different. It has a different picture on the top and does not have dividers inside. It is made of cardboard, covered with silk and velvet. Mine has a brand name inside the lid of the box- Hanes. My mom recently gave this to me with a bunch of family keepsakes inside. I believe these date to the early 60's and originally held ladies stockings. 

Here's a bit on Hanes history:

I'm glad I could help! It was just a coincidence that my mother gave this to me a few months ago. Funny that another would turn up!
