Came home from work, went to feed the animals and this is what I saw...

Do you want one? Can't give you this one it is actually my Dad's Can you just gasp...

And no it isn't for sale...

Can you say interesting? or Can you say OMG what was he thinking?

People were tiny back when this was made...the bottom is very narrow....

Just wanted to share with all my great gather friends, I thought you would find this interesting as I did...

I don't think they cared how they crammed them in back then

Ellen T P. Feb 2, 2012, 9:50pm UTC

Wow, how fascinating! Our son works at a local, private "memorial gardens," and he digs baby and cremation graves, landscaping, sods new graves, etc......he really loves his job and has been there for about 6 years. I guess it could probably be "morbid" to a number of people!
I wonder how old it is......what kind of lining is on the interior? Kind of looks like worn out satin.

Ellen T P. Feb 2, 2012, 9:51pm UTC

I felt it and if feels just like plain cotton actually...

Char H. Feb 2, 2012, 9:48pm UTC

Wow, Is the cloth liner hand sown?? Very interesting, wonder how old it is...

Ellen T P. Feb 2, 2012, 9:52pm UTC

It appears to be, and haven't a clue how old it is...

What a thing to find in your garage.

Ellen T P. Feb 2, 2012, 11:17pm UTC

Agree very much, it kinda scared me...then I opened it up...and shook my head...and called my Dad...

Kat W. Feb 2, 2012, 10:39pm UTC

That is interesting and a bit strange at the same time.

Ellen T P. Feb 2, 2012, 11:18pm UTC

My Dad likes odd things, and this is odd...and he likes old things and this is old...

As long as you don't find the body that was in it in your garage.. then you are doing fine. It is an interesting find and I hope it's a never been used one. :)

Ellen T P. Feb 3, 2012, 6:25pm UTC

No body, and I don't think it has been used...I really wish I knew the story behind it...when I do, I will let you all know...

CL Mareydt Feb 3, 2012, 9:19am UTC

My Father is one of kind...he is a joker, likes to freak me out...hides my dog, kinda of funny...and it is truly strange, and I don't put anything pass him...and it is also very interesting too...

It ought to be cool next Halloween or a real good piece for Day of the Dead--celebrate those who have gone before.

Ellen T P. Feb 4, 2012, 10:23pm UTC

Well my friend, that is a idea, My Grand-daughter Jayleigh birthday is on Halloween...Maybe, if I shine it up...Wow, what a idea! thoughts going a mile a minute...lol

Gee I hope this was never used. If it was I hate to think where the body is that was in it. I think I would have been a tad bit spooked if I came upon this.
