      We had one similar and it was called a sewing table . My mother kept her knitting items and yarn in it . Very nice post !!!!!!!!!! Not sure if it is called a sewing table but that is what she called it and I have seen them like yours with a inside tray for thread .

      We have a similar box also made by Geo Bent. Its probably 50 yrs old. My parents always called it a dough box. No idea why.

      I bought several Geo. Bent pieces in the 1970's & still have a sales flyer. On the flyer this is called a dough box, from the Andover Collection. I took a photo of the flyer, but don't know how to upload the photo.
