Make Do Hybrid: Antique Darning Egg with Clothes Pin Handle 19th c microphoto A beauty of an old

A beauty of an old tramp art box in pretty much perfect condition

It is a snuff box

It looks to me like a cemetery to the right of the yellow house

Make Do Hybrid: Antique Darning Egg with Clothes Pin Handle 19th c microphoto A beauty of an oldA very sweet old thing, the likes of which I've never seen a make do darning egg I believe, with a clothes pin used for its handle. Looks to me like just one small iron nail with nice bleed around it securing the two parts together, but its as solid and sound as can be. 5 1 2" l x 2" x 1 1 2" and in good antique condition.
