captscurvy_nc Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I don't have a pic yet but I will post one soon. I was hunting around this weekend for a new project and found a very unique wooden jewelry box at my local antique store. It's a wooden box with a black leather cover with a metal tall ship on it. Inside is red velvet and slats placed inside for what I assume is jewelry storage. The weird part is there are no makers mrks anywhere on it and it has a FM radio built into the box with two dials on the right side. Just curious if anyone has seen one of these before.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sears, JC Pennys, Montgomery Wards used to offer things like this back in the 1970's in their catalouges, usually Japanese in origin if it has a radio in it. Should be some makers info inside the battery cover. Hope this helps. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captscurvy_nc Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'll check inside to see. I wanted to restore it but wasn't sure if that would destroy any value it has (if any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 My dad had one that was a cannon with am/fm, wish he'd kept it but it has been gone a long time now. He worked for Sears 42 years. Good luck with your project, sounds like a cool find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 It was exactly identical to the second one with the long barrel and wheels. What i wouldn't do to have that again! thanks for the nostalgia. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 No problem sir, I think they are really cool. Wish they would come out with new ones along the same vein. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
