Did you ever have a Glory Box to store things for when you got married?
Some were plain wood like this, and others were camphor wood chests. Some people even set aside a “Bottom Drawer”.
Up until the 60s & 70’s it was very common to collect linen and kitchen utensils for your Glory Box, in preparation of getting married. That was back in the day when the Irish Linen man, or the Dromorne Linen man would call and sell you linen items which you could pay off, to add to your Glory Box.
