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.
