German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box primitive tool with yellow eyes and brown

with yellow eyes and brown for the interior of the ears

The back of this striking rug marvelously tells the story of its making--an intense storm of yarns of every color knotted and hanging loose after having been woven to form the dense patterns on the opposite side

German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box primitive tool with yellow eyes and brownAlways a sucker for an interesting box, I really love this little tin litho football. The perfect thing for your favorite athlete to carry Ibuprofen in! I believe it dates to the 1930s and originally held candy. Made in Germany. Some small dings and scratches as there should be. Opens fine and closes tightly. 2 1 4" long x 1 1 2" across.
