Abstract

Abstract A jewelry box is provided for all kinds of jewelry, costume or otherwise, precious jems, etc., whereby all kinds may be kept in one place, segregated, easy of access, and occupying little space. It is of upright rectangular form slightly tapered, with two sides hinged forming doors with hooks on the inside to hold bracelets or watches for example, also rings or earrings. A short distance upward from the bottom of the box is a shelf, and axially between the shelf and the top is a rotatable hollow tube with an inside diameter about 11/16 inch so that a dime may be placed through a slot in the top and fall down into the tube. On this center tube are short fingers projecting radially therefrom to hold chains, watches or the like. Between the shelf and the bottom of the box is a transparent removable box in which overflow articles may be kept.
