    Description

    After listing various treasures that I found in Grandma's sewing box, it's time to put her sewing box on eBay.  The box itself (not including handle and legs) is ~20 1/2" x ~11 1/4" x ~10 1/2".  It was made in Poland (there is a mark on the bottom - not shown) and comparing it to similar sewing boxes on eBay, it must have been the extra large model.  It has two issues - first there are remains from what looks like a ~1/4" diameter drop of glue on the top (see picture 12 upper right corner) and two of the four legs need to be repaired (see pictures 9 - 11) if you want to use them.  Look closely at picture 10 and you can see the thread inserts in both of the holes.  Should you want to use this sewing box with the legs, you'll need to drill out the dowel on the right side of picture 11 then install oversize thread inserts in both of the holes.  https://www.mcmaster.com/inserts-for-wood/  Since the fasteners are also missing, a trip to the hardware store will be in order.  If you're okay with not using the legs, this sewing box is ready to be filled with whatever you can think of.  The handle and legs will be in the same cardboard box as the sewing box but to save on shipping, the handle won't be installed.
