Great Old Pine Knife Box / Carrying Caddy with Original Red Paint dollhouse furniture I'll never not open one

I'll never not open one of these beautiful old marbled notebooks without looking to see what's inside

and if not a one of a kind set then I think only produced as a small batch

tight yellow bloom just floating in space

I've always got an eye out for old tramp art boxes

Of a similar ilk to the black cat I just listed

Great Old Pine Knife Box / Carrying Caddy with Original Red Paint dollhouse furniture I'll never not open oneOne sees a lot of these sorts of boxes around, sometimes called knife or utensil boxes, sometimes tool caddies, etc., and really handy for all sorts of things. I usually let them go, but the honest elegance and especially the old red paint on this one completely won me, and I find it really a very beautiful thing. Gorgeous aging to the paint, nice old fat nails visible around the perimeter of the underside, and not a fussy thing about it. 15 15 16" x
