Special 25 Cents Hand-painted Sign on Wood Panel spice box The piece is signed Luke

The piece is signed Luke on the underside

as they sometimes are

a set of Authors cards

Just a charming little vintage trinket box made of paper mache in the shape of a turtle and lacquered in gold and black

but they certainly pale in comparison to this fantastic tiny family of creatures carved from walnut shells

Special 25 Cents Hand-painted Sign on Wood Panel spice box The piece is signed LukeIn my experience one more often finds grocery signs like this one cardboard than one wood, so I have to think wherever this one was hung featured plenty of 25 cent specials! To my eye it's a super satisfying one, with this inky jet black against chippy white perfect for hanging in a shop now (surely one could find some little thing to sell for 25 cents!) or anywhere! 9 1 8 x 6 3 4 and in very good, beautifully aged condition; paint is not chipping.
