Handsome and Useful c. 1940s Pencil Box with Deco Faux Inlay Graphic antique bookends as I'm not sure how

as I'm not sure how one would have gotten it in there

and alive in space where they intersect

And what a marvelous bird it is

a could of which I remounted using clear archival tape

The reverse sides would be completed by the fisherman who were delivering the fish

Handsome and Useful c. 1940s Pencil Box with Deco Faux Inlay Graphic antique bookends as I'm not sure howThe decoration on the face of this old wooden pencil box is not actual inlay it is a litho graphic but until one runs a finger over it to find it smooth, one might never know. I just thought it was smart looking, and I think one can never have too many pencil boxes! And the hinged lid closes really tight, making it a good one to carry around should one want to throw it in a satchel! 8 5 8" x 3 1 4" x 1" C. 1940s or so I would guess, good condition
