Doll
This doll was given to my mother, Lillie
Strahl Cardinal (1877-1948), by her father,
Hermann Strahl (1830-1880), for Christmas
1879 when she was two year[s] old. Because
her father died one week later on New
Year's Day 1880, she treasured the doll
all her life. Shortly before she died,
Mother asked us to give the doll to our
daughter, Phyllis, when she became age
two.
The doll's head, hands, and feet are china.
The body is stuffed with sawdust. She is a
blue eyed, black haired lady fifteen inches
tall.
Doll Trunk
The doll trunk was my mother's. I'm not
sure of its age, but I think it may be as
old as the doll (1879). At any rate, it
dates back to Mother's childhood, in the
City of Fort Howard.
The trunk is [a] small version of a
traveller's trunk with lock, leather
handles, rollers, metal fittings, and
simulated leather (paper) exterior
covering. The inside is complete with
tray and paper lining. Dimensions are:
14 inches long, 9 inches high, and 8
inches deep.
Doll Furniture
The doll furniture belonged to my mother
when she was a child. She was born June
12, 1877, and live on North Ashland Avenue
in the City of Fort Howard until she was
thirteen.

OldThings.html#matchbox
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.
