George E. Ackerman wood tea caddy with bone embellishments

Description

For your perusal, an early multi drawer tea caddy with ivory embellishments.
The pulls for the drawers are absent as well as the cover for the escutcheon. The attached note on the bottom is a mystery to me. Perhaps it’s the original owner.
UPDATE: I received this note from a fellow eBAYer!
Mrs. George Akerman. George E. Akerman was president Herbert Hoover's press secretary. There is a 1630 Jonquil Street NW in Washington DC close to Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek Hills area.
