but think it lovely

and made even better for the tower of bases it perches atop

and would still certainly do the job of sweeping off the table or countertop--though I'd be much more inclined to hang it on the wall

and would work nicely as a small vase and trinket dish on a vanity or dresser

Intensively Engraved Antique Printer's Plate handmade cribbage board but think it lovelyI just love the surface of this old printer's plate, with the names of Sam Scott and John Oaks consuming much of it, but various smaller letters and marks filling every centimeter between and around them, and many more on the back side, too. I find the whole thing super satisfying, and the detailing on the letters spelling out Sam Scott especially fantastic. 8 1 2 x 4 3 16 and in very good condition, found in Adams County, PA
