Because I can never resist a good whimsy, and this is a bit of an unusual one, with the top section looking like a little box--an enclosed cage of sorts-with slide lids on either side. (The sliding sides are actually part of one connected form, which moves up and down.) Three nicely carved balls in the cage below, a carved loop at top for hanging, and a nice dry wood patina to the pine. There is one carved out side at the bottom, I assume a loss but perhaps always that way? It will stand on its own on a flat surface.
8 1/8" t x 7/8" w and d and in very good condition, I'd guess 1920s-40s. There is one carved out side at the bottom, a bit hard to tell if a loss or always that way. It will stand on its own on a flat surface.
