If you are a great reader, as I am, (my password for one of the Internet
bookstores is "voracious reader"), then you will enjoy owning one of these
boxes. I'm a big fan of old mysteries, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple
are great favorites of mine. Spending an hour or two with them is just
like visiting with old friends, soul satisfying! So, imagine my delight
when I found not only Agatha Christie commemorated by a Limoges box but
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal detective, Sherlock Holmes, as well.
This being a library, we have books other than those mentioned above,
so thumb through some of our other volumes and see if there isn't something
that will pleasure you. Or a friend!
Sorry, the following item is No
Longer Available.
A. The "Murder on the Orient Express" Box. A porcelain
edition of a very famous book, almost as good as owning a first edition.
Well, not quite. Even if you haven't had the pleasure of reading this
incredibly complex mystery certainly you are familiar with it from Hollywood's
star-studded film of the same name. The box has all of the tools of Poirot's
trade painted on the inside including one that he never used himself,
a tiny removable revolver. Retail: Upwards of $199.00. Our price: $169.90.
Insider's Special: $129.90.
B. The Sherlock Holmes Deer Stalker Cap Box. Like his
famous headgear, even to the "County Check" fabric. Inside, his pipe,
three dimensional and removable. Retail: Upwards of $199.00. Our price: $169.90. Insider's Special: $129.90.
C. The Registered Nurse. Standing tall and looking like the professional she is, any patient will welcome her kind and caring ministrations. Retail: $187.00. Our price: $168.90.
Sorry, the following item is by Special Order Only.
D. Le Livre de Medecine Box. For those with M.D. after
their name this is a most appropriate gift. It's an illustrated text,
those are someone's lungs you see on the left hand page. I can only assume
that the text on the right is descriptive of same. That's a dimensional
stethoscope resting on the open pages. Inside, the dreaded SHOT needle!
Non dimensional, thank heavens. Retail: Upwards of $195.00. Our price:
$175.90.
E. The Have a Seat, Won't You Box? And the answer is generally,
Well, if I must? The Dentist Chair Box. It isn't that you don't like
him,
you just don't like what he does is the problem. I have yet to meet anyone
who willingly gets into this chair. It may be a recliner but it is also
one that is often declined. The reason that I bought this box was not
to commemorate dentists particularly but because the customer wanted
to
remember her years as a dental assistant. She loved the dentist for whom
she worked for so many years. Well, I also loved my dentist of 35 years
but my mouth was enough commemorative for him, I thought. She wanted
a chair that had all of the equipment with it. I drew the line at that.
Who needs or wants to remember the drill? Ugh! Open wide, please! Retail:
About $173.00. Our price:$156.90.

F. For Legal Eagles, The Scales of Justice
Box.
Another instance of Elayne taking license with her placement of boxes,
but necessary. Sorry. What can one say about the Scales of Justice except
that these are evenly balanced. The weights are painted along the bottom
of the box and a tiny cherub is at the apex of the scale. The interior
of the box is gold washed and it could easily hold a man's studs or cuff
links or collar stays. It's a rather nice way of saying Thank You after
he wins your case. Retail: Upwards of $173.00. Our price: $147.90.
Sorry, the following item is by No Longer Available.
G. A Box for The Graduate! Suitable for graduation from any school ranging from nursery school to getting an advanced degree like a doctorate! A stack of three tomes, leather bound with gilt bindings, and sitting atop the stack --a mortar board with tassel! Inside, a dimensional and removable Diploma! and it has space for a bit of personalization. The clasp is a quill pen. Retail: $215.00. Our price: $193.90.
