Oak bed with high headboard and footboard with walnut inserts, matching dresser with hanky boxes and candle shelves and commode with candle shelves with carved acorn pulls
This messenger boy is carrying a 5lb. box of whitman's sampler candy box. It's made of wood. Has a cross stitch design. I believe it was introduced around 1915 -20's. It has one small chip on the shoulder. I have read that it is rare and not many were made. I have seen that one sold at an auction for $2600. I Might be interested in selling it after apprasal but not until I find out more about it.
During the cleaning out of my great grandmothers and grandfathers home I have found several of these differnt sized trays and tableware. Some are marked as sterling and some are have the ingravings of Crosby, Irvinware, and WM a Rogers. I have been trying to find what I could about these items with little luck. Please if some can assist it would be great.
