Ron and Mary went to Pittsburgh's Hidden Treasures (KDKA) to find out more info about this unusual Minstral Toy Box, in the family since 1888. Uploading these photos, and some of the information we found out after a bit of searching on the internet.
Turns out, Charles Lewis, under the pen name M. Quad wrote a popular column for the Detroit Free Press about the 'Lime-Kiln Club'.
