Framed picture of Glenn

I think that if someone would like just the frame, without the picture of Glenn, that could be arranged.

Oriental Elephant

I have no idea if this is old or new but Grandma has always used it in her Heatheridge house to hold open the bedroom door.

Vertical Oval mirror

Old -- Libbey estate. I can't tell you any more.

"Boy" lamp

I believe this was originally an oil or kerosene lamp. Currently it has been electrified. The shade is one that Grandma and Grandpa partnered on.

"On, Sail On" appliqued wall hanging

One of many such wall hangings that Grandma has done since we all grew up. This one was to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus discovering America, so about 1992.

Black ladder back chair

Another old chair which Grandma Williams stripped, painted and stenciled. The seat is a rush seat. The black piece is a piece of hooking that Grandma Williams did and made into a purse for Grandma Libbey. The hooked piece has since been taken apart.

Paper covered chest

You can tell that this is a relatively small chest. It is from the Libbey family. It is missing its locking mechanism (the hole in the front of the box).  Somewhere I have more information on it.

Yellow ladder back chairs

There are a pair of these chairs. They are old, but have been stripped, refinished and stenciled by Grandma Williams.

Overland car memory "picture"

I think was the second car that Great-grandpa Libbey owned. At any rate, this is the name plate from it, a picture, plus the license plate, all framed and mounted, I think, by Aunt Linnette/mother/grandmother.

Pulp Wood advertising poster

Great-grandpa Libbey bought and sold wood; this was one of his advertising posters.

Applique of Lynnfield House

Aunt Linnette appliqued and quilted this lovely piece, representing our growing up home in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. She will be taking it home with her.

Replica of a old-style crab pot

This is quite small, you probably can't tell that, maybe about 6-8" long. The lid actually opens. I'm not sure that you would call it a toy, but whatever.

Wooden spool horse puppet

New since I left home. I am not sure if Grandpa and Grandma made it or not. They would be entirely capable.

Wind-up toy duck

I have no idea of the history of this toy -- old or new! but he is guaranteed to delight any child, young or old.

Paper Cutter

A 12" square paper cutter -- well used by Grandpa and Grandma for cutting film and making possible their many paper projects.

Baskets

There are a number of baskets of various styles that Grandma has made. She took classes, mainly at UVU, to learn the craft. Grandpa helped with making the wooden parts; Grandma did the weaving.

Blue striped with ruffles, curtains

All through her home are curtains that Grandma made. These in the den are some of them. There are two windows, hence two sets of matching curtains.

Advertising print of "Motif #1" at Rockport, Mass.

Grandma saw this in a drug store, advertising a brand of film, and begged for it -- over some extended period of time. Motif #1 is the red shack at the end of the pier. A storm a few years ago destroyed it.

The sewing machine has a home, but the case does not. Perhaps you can think of something wonderful to do with it.

Day Bed

Grandma maintains that this is one of the most comfortable places to take a nap. I believe that she and Grandpa rescued if from the side of the road and re-covered it. It is sturdy and comfortable.

White with blue feather stitching quilt

This quilt came through the Williams family. If this is the right story with the right quilt, Grandpa's Grandmother quilted it and he traced on the design for her to quilt from the front of an old radio.

Small shelf

There are two or three of these smaller shelf units. This one has been stained, others have been painted -- aqua!

What-not shelf

I think this was made by Grandpa Williams, perhaps for Grandma Libbey. I don't remember if the top part is one or three drawers and there is one drawer at the bottom, plus the two shelves.

Bureau - 2

Another of the old bureaus from Maine that Grandma rescued from the shop or stable, stripped and refinished. I don't have any idea how long it was in the family, but probably is at least from the mid to late 1800's.

Painting of Williams "Homestead"

This was done by Sheryl Williams Lambson (one of our cousins) from a photograph of the place where the Williams family lived when they first moved to the Mesa area.

Frame Milk Can Labels and Stencil

The top item is the label that was on milk cans coming from David Freeman Libbey. The bottom item was the stencil for labelling containers of other produce/products from him -- butter, cheese, milk, etc.

Kiddie Kar

Made by Linnette for Grandma. It is a copy of one that Grandma and Uncle David had as children and that we three played on for hours.

Pipe box and clay pipes

I don't know the origin of this. If you have a hankering for a display of pipes, this is the family heritage item for you.

Small hooked rug

This rug is fairly worn. Perhaps something could be made of the center section of it could be rebound, smaller.

"Lady" cookie mold

This is the lady that matches the unfinished gentleman cookie mold. Grandma did this when we were fairly young -- hand carved.

Oval beveled mirror with Gold Frame

Beveled mirrors are more rare than flat ones and much more interesting. The frame is lovely with carved shells top and bottom.

Rubbing of a Medieval plaque

I don't think that this is a gravestone rubbing. It was done by Grandma and Grandpa, probably in England.

Railroad Lantern

This has been electrified and currently hangs beside the front door at Grandma's house.

Print of General Andrew Jackson

An old print of General Andrew Jackson. Perhaps it is Currier & Ives; I will have to check.

Bureau with side drawers

I don't know any of the history of this bureau, but know that it is old and that it was stripped and refinished by Grandma.

Rocking chair-2

This rocking chair is as I remember it in the living room in Maine at the Libbey Homestead. No refinishing by Grandma.

Tip Top Table

This table was made with the combined efforts of Great-grandpa Libbey and Grandpa Williams, I am pretty sure. They were both skilled wood workers. The center upright was turned on a lathe. Under the table top is a latch that will allow the top to fold down, when not in use.

Rocking Chair with red cushions

I believe this to have come through the Libbey family. Grandma stripped, painted and stenciled this. She also made the cushions.

Hitchcock Chair

 The chair is very old, from the Libbey family. Mama has repainted and stenciled this one -- and several others.

Desk

I have no idea of the history of this desk. I don't remember it in Lynnfield, so am guessing that it was Uncle David's or Aunt Bessie's. It has a fold out writing surface, lots of cubby holes, and three drawers. A beautiful piece of furniture.

Wing back, overstuffed chair

This was a chair that Grandma rescued from somewhere when we were very young. She and Grandpa took classes at Essex Agricultural School to learn upholstery.  I don't think this was the first chair they did, nor is this the original upholstery. However, this is a chair that they did at least twice. Very comfortable!

Print of a tin type of Grandpa Libbey (Everett)

Grandpa and Grandma photographed the original tin type, had (or made) this enlargement. Then Grandma hand colored the picture. If you look carefully, you can see the brace behind Grandpa that was to help him stand still during the several minute exposure time.

The frame is an ornate gold one. I think that Grandma found it under the eaves at the farm in Maine.

Sofa Mirror

Both at Grandma's home and in her apartment, this lovely mirror has hung over her sofa. It has a wide, deep ogee frame. I assume it has been in the family for some time.

Another end table

This is similar to the previous table, but not the same. Again, two drop leaves and two shallow drawers.

End Table

I am not sure of the origin of this table, but suspect Aunt Bessie again. It is a bit wobbly, but could be fixed easily by some of your clever woodworking descendants. It has drop leaves on either side and two shallow drawers.

Bone Box

I have no idea why it was called this; perhaps Linnette or Glenn will remember. All of our growing up it contained pins and needles and the like. Grandma refinished it. I don't even remember if it had been in the family for a very long time or just one of those lovely things that Grandma found somewhere.

Wooden toys

Again, this toy is representative of a whole category. I hope that each family has at least one toy right now and that there will be enough for each of you to select one more (different) toy at Grandma's.
