I never find anything by the road, but I have a similar sewing box from my grandmother. It is in the original shape, dark brown. You did a great job with cleaning yours!

Thanks so much! Actually, they weren’t hinges. They were just decorative and nailed to the lid of the box. After refinishing I felt like they didn’t match the look of the box anymore… it was all fresh and new and they were lookin’ dingy and old. Even after much cleaning – so I choose to leave them off.

good work! I love side-of-the-road finds. Those original hinges were so cute, were they broken?
