    My Great Grandfather was a Architect/Draftsman and would design the wood work for department stores and buildings. I recently found a box he used that seems antique, circa 1930-ish, that contains about 70 plus samples of all the different types of woods in 2x6 pieces. I have no further information about this and was wondering if it's something I should hold onto...

      I would call it a keeper ! What a great piece to use to ID wood and it has a collectable interest also as a Salesman sample to show different wood looks or it was for un use in a wood supply store . I love it ! In this cade your uncle could take it woth him to job site and show it to builders . Great piece !

      I agree Sis, Caroline should definitely hang on to this.
      Could you add some pictures of the box, so we can see how it is constructed?
      Love it?
