The initials belong to my great grandmother and the photos are her sisters. Such a treasure! She was a Harvey Girl and traveled out West, marrying my grandfather in 1919. Any idea where and when this was manufactured?
Inside is W&H Company...The Wightman & Hough Co. was founded in 1856 in Providence, Rhode Island.
They sold similar ones around early 1900s

Well caught DAV2 ….. Beautiful Item !!!!!!!
Wonderful information - thank you for the link! Early 1900's is the right timing and this family was all about at least the appearance of "refinement and good taste."
