Gibson, Greenville, Michigan - Street Road

Gibson, Greenville, Michigan

3/20/2015

It's an ice chest, and it's beautiful - wood, glass and brass, built by hand by Gibson in Greenville, Michigan.
It was owned and used by Emily's grandfather in his store in Landsdowne, Philadelphia.
There is no date on the plate but it's certainly pre-1931 - here's a link to the history of Gibson - http://greenvillemi.org/history/
And thank you Donna for restoring it to glowing health!

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
