Sweet Hand-carved Heart and Clover Little Slide Top Box japanese box or boxed sets like this

or boxed sets like this containing so many

with nails on the sides near the top strung with wire

and then this field of pin-prick like marks outlining the year of its making

which this one does not--rather

and an unused postcard to boot

Sweet Hand-carved Heart and Clover Little Slide Top Box japanese box or boxed sets like thisAt first I thought this might be a box made to hold playing cards, but it's a bit too small for that, so maybe good for a box of matches, or a small stash of something, or just a few little treasures. And someone certainly put some love into it, with heart on one side, three leaf clover on the other, and sweet chip carved borders on both sides. The slide top is a bit clunky but works fine and holds snugly closed. 3 7 8" x 2 7 8" x 1 1 8". Varnish
