Given to Joyce by Gladys, whose Son George May Have Made it, Old Stacked Layers Treen Heart Shaped Box handmade pottery All writing and drawings in

All writing and drawings in ink with the exception of 2 pages of pencil drawings (as pictured

especially for the rosy cheeked girl below the painted and crayoned flower on one side

one could periodically flip it over to look at the reverse

but I couldn't resist it either

while also evoking a sense that this could also have been put to use as a bait box at some point

Given to Joyce by Gladys, whose Son George May Have Made it, Old Stacked Layers Treen Heart Shaped Box handmade pottery All writing and drawings inGiven to Joyce Palmer by Gladys Frederick, whose son George may have made it. Well, you know I love a note like that. And, always, a heart shaped box, the body of this one composed of eight stacked layers of alternating woods, and with a heart nailed to the underside of the lid so that it fits just right. Nicely done, whether by George or someone else! Earlier 20th century I believe, bright and crisp. 4 1 2" x 4 1 2" x 2 1 4" t. Excellent condition.
