Charming Antique Pencil or Crayon Box with Imperfectly Ordered Alphabet black and white painte I found a few records

I found a few records of the Hamilton photo studio in Shenandahoah

that shape of which is just the right amount of off-kilter

and with a super warm presence — better in person and really quite fabulous

a little corner wear with scattered stains/toning that is all to the good in my opinion

Really just perfect

Charming Antique Pencil or Crayon Box with Imperfectly Ordered Alphabet black and white painte I found a few recordsThis old handmade box makes me very happy, purchased from a dealer in Pennsylvania. The multi color alphabet across the top makes me imagine it once held a trove of bone letters (if only it did still!) though perhaps it was just made for pencils and crayons, marks of the latter much evident in the interior. In any case, I find those rows of neatly lined up letters in shades of yellow, green and orange letters beautiful, but even better is the fact
