I have been in search of a pie safe for years one that I really liked. Well yesterday was the day after years of looking I bought a pie safe that I just love. Not only is it exactly what I have looked for but I found out that there is a stamp on the back saying that it had been shipped to the Arrington Depot hear in the nelson county where I live that is no longer there,to a William S. Penn. Who knows what year but I would love to find out the history behind it. After cleaning it a little and wiping it down with some was I found a new home for her in my morning room and filled it with a few goodies.
Isnt she pretty. I would love to know when it dates back to. If any ideas let me know. Thanks for stopping by.

That is awesome, I often wish, all antiques would come with a little history book tucked inside a drawer.
What a fine treasure!

Beautiful pie safe ~ and the legs don't look like they've been cut down (like mine). The "perfect" antique sometimes takes years to find.
