W. S's Excellent Old Chip Carved Cigar Box Wood Tramp Art Box medium soft pencils color printed on bright whiteA beauty of an old tramp art box in pretty much perfect condition, made by, or for (or both) a W. S. long ago. (And I'm really smitten with the thin and slightly wavy lines of that W.) Carefully executed, perfectly resolved, super sturdy, without a missing bit, and with some nice bubbling to the old varnish on front. And that inverted triangle around the keyhole really brings its geometries together in an excellent way. 11" l x 7 3 8" d x 5 1 4" t.
