A Case of Necessity Box of Safety Pins Antique Postcard pill box The one with the lobster

The one with the lobster is signed (as well as wonderfully painted) on the underside with what looks like "Bd 13

This fabulous thing is a carved wood whistle in the shape of a bird

it would certainly make a fantastic picnic basket

Another nice old turned wooden corkscrew

I love the femininity of this especially happy looking little handmade Humpty Dumpty doll

A Case of Necessity Box of Safety Pins Antique Postcard pill box The one with the lobsterTerrific graphics on this punny antique postcard produced by the J. I Austen Company, Chicago, which made some good ones! C. 1910 or so I believe. Hard to beat that green box with red liner and perfectly lined up safety pins and pretty clever too. 3 1 2" x 5 1 2" and in very good, unused condition. A bit of foxing staining visible on the background, pretty minor.
