Curious Old Pewter Cradle Shaped Box with Baby! wooden crate with lable with finely detailed robes and

with finely detailed robes and architecture

should one be so lucky as to have lots of things in the $900 range:)) And hard to beat the great surface and super inky black against creamy white

this came from an old New England mill

which shows some wear to the spine but is still holding together and very pretty

This makes my heart ache

Curious Old Pewter Cradle Shaped Box with Baby! wooden crate with lable with finely detailed robes andAnother very unusual one, which I have tried hard to find out something about, with no luck at all, including attempts to trace the mark. A box for storing silver diaper pins? A container for a child's ashes? A mold? I really have no idea, but find it quite an evocative and slightly haunting object. Definitely pewter and I assume British, with a mark that looks to read ICH together with a lion. If you know more than I do about this, please share! 4 9
