An assortment of items given to a member by a distant cousin. A connection made with Great Grandparents.
Baptism dresses that crossed several generations.
A rescued photograph of an ancestor in the mid-19th century. Computer enhancement of the tin negative seen in the lower left portion of the frame.
And, a "What is it?" found on a family farm in Minnesota. Dates from the 1920s or so, but unsure what exactly it is.

Such a lovely baptism dress! And could that last item be a pie safe? (I'm not exactly sure what a pie safe is, but it looks like what I imagine it would be.) How fun to see these treasures!
ReplyDeleteRegarding my metal storage cabinet, I did some searching using Google images. It does to seem to fit being an ice box. The ones depicted were designed to have the ice positioned on a top shelf with space for air to circulate. Also, they usually had a door at the top to provide easy access to the block of ice. Some were insulated. So the mystery continues.
