Looking through an old wooden box my other half possesses we found a label glued in the bottom... It reads;
"The price of it was £4 !!!!
This cedar box was bought on 23rd June 1813, of Miss Lott, a fancy workshop in Great Russell St. Bloomsbury by C. Carr Sen' (my mother) and by her, later given to me C.C. her daughter now C. Twisleton"

What do you think of that ? I'm just sharing because it's so interesting, I think ! Wonder who Miss Lott was and what the 'fancy workshop' was all about ? £4 for a smallish box, maybe 12' x 8' and 6' deep in 1813 ?!?

p.s. I know the Carrs and Twisleton connection, 200 years in the same family !
