and 3/4" in height

I am not sure how this owl appeared in its original state (I believe it dates from the 1960s or so) but its surface now is a wonderful mix of green

and the monkey would climb up the string

including simplicity

Eglantine American Tobacco Company 20 Cent Plugs Box vintage claws and 3/4" in heightI really like the graphic quality of the big red EGLANTINE across one side of this old wooden box, with nice jointed corners to boot. It once held 18 tobacco plugs brick like masses of tobacco, from which pieces were bitten off or cut, then chewed but now is just a great box for holding tools, spices, art supplies, or whatever. Structurally solid, with a little damage to the surface of the wood on one corner, as pictured. 11 1 2" long x 5" deep x 2 5
