Greetings Forum Readers:
A few weeks past, I posted a message about period storage books, however, while going over my library, I discovered that I forgot another good source. A great book to have is "To Have & To Hold - Decrorative American Boxes" by Pat Ross, ISBN#0-670-83061-5, $20, Viking Studio Books.
You name it, this book has a photo and description of what the box was used for, how it was decorated, AND the sources to create you own. The best part of the book is that the descriptions of boxes are used for any variety of reasons for men, women, and children. The chapter on 'hearth& home' is great because it shows so many different storage uses for store goods that were recycled into home use which would have been appropriate for civilian and refugee impressions. Believe me, you'll enjoy this book and find it useful for searching stores for the right style box, carton, or tin.
