This brings back memories of my grandmother's house. There was one there, but they weren't using it anymore.
It's great that your family's still taking care of an heirloom like that. Treasuring it like that would make the younger generation (like me) put mre importance on preserving our heritage.
Yes it is important to preserve our heritage as they are treasures from our lineage. I still looking for some other stuff fron my grandma so it can be taken care of. Thanks for checking.
