And what a beautiful drawing

which shows a little loss but is still in good shape

There are several holes at the top off each leg where it joins the body

next to the artist’s name is writing in pencil

Early NYE Company Skip Tooth Die no 44 color cubes And what a beautiful drawingI didn't know quite what this was when I found it, I just loved its weight and surface and the shape of the cutout out, with ribbed areas at four points giving it a bit of tooth! It is marked "NYE Skip Tooth 1 1 2"" and also NYC Tool Machine Works" and so I've figured out is a Skip Tooth Die, which from what I can tell is basically a cutting tool. Also from what I can tell, this is a pretty old one, earlyish 20th century I believe. 3 7 8" x 3 7 8" x 7
