What Is This? I Need Help!!

This was my grandmother's. I can always remember it sitting on her hutch, full of apricot fried pies. We always called it a pie safe, it has little breathing holes on the side to let air in - and good smells out! Mamaw died when I was 13, and she was in her 70's, I think (Scott, correct me if I'm wrong)...sooo that was 40 years ago??? Arrrrrgh. Anyway.

I rescued it out of storage this weekend, and found it was broken. Now I am broken-hearted. Snooty told me I could google it, but all I found was that it was made at the Dresden Factory from 1874-1909. She said most of this stuff can be fixed. It's about 12 inches in diameter, and has a hinged lid and you can see the clasp.

I'm going to have to do some heavy research. I've googled and e-bay'd it to death, and I can't find what it's called.

I just want to get it fixed!

Don't forget - James Taylor freebie tickets coming up Monday!
