7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help We try to post stories and
comments from our readers each week. Send your story to newsletter@tias.com.

Here's a note from one of our readers. Does anyone have any info to share?

"Found this at a friends house it is approximately (at least) 100 years old. 
Here are some pictures.  Think that it has an "athletica" brand.  The writing
on the box is "Universal portable tool chest patented all around the world."
Thanks Eran
Here's a link to the pictures:

Here's a "haunted" story about one of our reader's collection:

Here's my true "haunted items" story.  My mom and I went to hundreds of garage
sales together.  We bought interesting small plates and used those instead of
matching sets of dishes.  When my mom died over 10 years ago, 2 odd things
happened in the first couple weeks following her death.  About a week after
she died, I heard a crash from my kitchen.  Seven plates had "jumped" out of
the cupboard, and 5 of them broke.  No one was near them when it happened. 
That was odd enough, but a few days later, in my basement, the exact same
thing happened - 7 plates crashed to the floor and 5 broke.  I wonder if she
was trying to tell me I had collected too many plates!
