F.E. Dean's 1906 Handmade Wooden Box with (Subtle) Pinprick Decoration owl on branch but was easier to photograph

but was easier to photograph lying flat

as these have more the feel of the center of town

I found this in a wonderful shop filled with all sorts of interesting antiques and curiosities

with a bobble head that really bobbles

Some dryness and a little cracking to the surface of the wood as pictured

F.E. Dean's 1906 Handmade Wooden Box with (Subtle) Pinprick Decoration owl on branch but was easier to photographIt is very subtle, but at the center of the lid on this lovely box is carefully pinpricked the year 1906 and the name F. E. Dean I love that it is barely discernible, almost like a secret, with an incised border and gridded decoration at the corners, too. A very handy box as well, good for pens and pencils and all manner of small things, with a divider that can be removed as needed. 11 x 3 5 8 x 2 3 8 t and in very good condition, with hinges well
