I know it doesn't look like much.  I mean, it looks like a box.  Because it is a box...

 

But not just ANY plain, old box.

 

A FANCY old box.

 

 

It's apparently a fire box, so used to hold wood- sometimes coal-, and it's covered in brass.  I tried finding them online, and I did find a few to compare it to, but most of them have a "pub scene" on them.  This one has... a hunting scene?

 

 

As you can tell, I'm not the best picture taker.  But you can see the details.  And the small piece of missing trim on the front there. 

Of course, I found this on craigslist.  The day it was listed.  I sent it to my husband, and his response was "Do you think that will fit in your car?"  I knew I had to have it, and he must have felt the same way.

In any case, it's beautiful, and it should go into our beautiful future home.

Speaking of which, stay tuned, because I'm going to post some other interesting houses.  It's not that I don't love the school house anymore, or see it as going to be ours, but... I'm impatient.  And I love houses.  And being a realtor, I'm of course going to look at everything I can.  So some interesting "competitors" coming up!
