ANTIQUE "TRAMP ART" BOX-EXTREME DETAIL AND DESIGN-VERY NICE

THIS IS A TYPE OF FOLK ART KNOWN AS "TRAMP ART". THE HOMELESS OF THE DAY WOULD TRAVEL THE TRAINS ACROSS THE COUNTRY DOING THESE SMALL WOOD CARVED AND ASSEMBLED PINE PIECES INTO BOXES, FRAMES, CROSSES, ETC. THEY WOULD USE CRATES OR OTHER FREE WOOD AND MAKE THE POINTS ON THE PROJECTS FOR A UNIQUE DESIGN. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS HISTORIC AND PRIMITIVE ART WORK. THE BOX MEASURES 7 BY 10 AND 4 1/2 INCHES TALL. THE LID OPENS AND IS LINED WITH OLD WALL PAPER. THE CONDITION OF THIS BOX IS VERY NICE AND IT SHOWS WELL. THE PART OF THE LOCK IN THE LID IS MISSING AND THERE IS NO KEY. CHECK ALL OUR PHOTO'S FOR THE FINE DETAIL AND DESIGN AND THE NAME ON THE FRONT
