Gibbet Jones Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thought it looked like a treasure chest. It will be the future costume storage for my wife, daughter and I. I just have to re-line it with cedar and make it structurally sound again. Found it in the attic of my dads garage. He found it thrown away when he was 13 back in the 50s. He said it belonged to an old lady and when she died this is one of the things thrown away. He pulled it home in a wagon and had it ever since. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.

Mission Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Pretty cool. I like the button-head nails in the top.

But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My mom gave me a similar one a few years back, and, being the pirate that I am, I keep all of my waiscoats and justacorps in it. Cool find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
