Marvelous Antique Tramp Art Box with Hearts Everywhere and Wallpaper Lining gilded frame which seems not to suitThis is for certain my favorite tramp art box I've had, which photos can't do justice, as it needs to be felt as much as seen, just dripping with character, and love, and presence.

Plus brass lion heads holding rings, old iron nails all over, bits of printed text on the cigar box wood here and there, wall paper lining, and a Superiore cigar box label portrait
