Child Chairs
The four chairs have interesting histories.
The green straight chair was bought by her
parents for my wife, Beatrice Ferslev, when
she was four years old (in 1919). It was
used specifically for her to sit on in the
one-seated family automobile while her
older sister sat between the parents and
the younger sister sat on mother's lap.
The other three chairs were given to me
after my *cousin's children outgrew
them (about 1915). The training chair was
a brown color – stain and varnish
–; we never had the tray. The
"kitchen" chair was red enamel.
I remember the rocker as yellow –
probably a stained or natural finish.
When Uncle Abe Frei brought the training
chair from Spokane, Washington, out to the
ranch on Indian Prairie, he was embarassed;
so he put it in a burlap bag. I named the
chairs for ranch horses – Major
(training chair), Queen (kitchen),
and Flo (rocker) and drove them with
string lines. The chair backs and rear legs
still show the wear from being dragged
across the floor. I still refer to them
by name.

Match Box
This match box was used by my parents for
many years. I don't know its origin, but
I remember it in the basement at 132 South
Oneida Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin, from
the mid-1920's. It was mounted near the
furnace and remained there when the house
was sold to Carl and Marian Sippel in 1950
or 1951. They continued to use the box for
matches in the basement until 1982. They
gave it to me for Christmas 1982. It
continues in use for matches beside our
Franklin stove.
The box is wall-mounted of cast iron, and
is of self-closing design. It measures
about 3¾″ × 2¼
× 1″ – just right for a
handful of wooden kitchen matches. These
words are cast on the lid: Self Closing
– for matches &c. –
Patented Dec. 20, 1864 – D.N &
Co. – New Haven . The bottom is
made rough as a place to scratch the
matches. The remainder is coated with
black enamel.
In 1983, I removed the original enamel
and recoated it with new black enamel.
