Shaker Swing Handled This is a #4 box with a swing handle and lid. The handle swings in both directions toward the bottom of the box. It is made of red oak, stained colonial maple, and clear coated to allow the beautiful wood grain to show. It is new and was constructed with meticulous care, in the Shaker Tradition, from start to finish in our carpenter shop. It was put together with copper tacks and wooden pegs. THIS IS THE ONLY COLONIAL MAPLE SWING HANDLE WE HAVE AT THIS TIME. It measures 8 1/2" Long X 5 3/4" Wide X 3 1/4" Deep Shipping Weight is 1 lb. 10 oz. It was a popular item in retail stores, remembered for the bright colored lining with sewing aids of pincushion, needle holder, emery, and bees wax. A novelty when put on display. You can use your imagination as to what you might put in the box. It makes a wonderful package for a gift. Some of the History of the Shakers The Shaker, a member of a celibate, communal religious society that originated among English Quakers in the middle of the eighteenth century. Their official name was The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Coming, but the group has also been known as The Millennial Church and early acquired the popular name of Shaking Quakers or Shakers from the members' habit of trembling or shaking while manifesting spiritual power during worship.
