Thrifted: Vintage Hamilton letter press drawer

You guys! I am too excited. So you know how I'm always looking for jewelry storage containers? Well I was on Etsy drooling over these vintage letter press drawers last year. Unfortunately I was only "window shopping" because the large ones run anywhere from $80-$110 (plus shipping).
On whim yesterday I stopped by the Goodwill in the West End and guess what?! I found a letter press drawer! It was jammed on the bottom shelf in housewares under a wine rack.

And it was only $5.95 !

 The letter press drawers go inside of  a cabinet like this one.

You can find these online on Etsy... Here and here.

  1. Whoa! Nice find! I've never seen one of these in person. I can just imagine filling it up with jewelry, craft supplies, and every miscellaneous tiny cute thing I own!

  3. I need to go GoodWilling with you. I am still looking for something to put my flats in, like that library card holder you posted before.
