perhaps at Rockefeller Center

perhaps packed with emergency supplies

Very good antique condition--clearly well used

which looks to me to be splitting a piece of wood

Very Sweet Antique Carved Out Box in Red Paint with Slide Lid handmade bird cutout produced by Rock & CoI really love an old carved out wooden box. Feels so visceral and direct, not messing around with jointed corners, just digging out the inside. And this old one with a sweet little carved knob at the end of the sliding lid. Could be that the unpainted pine lid replaced an earlier one, but if so has been with it for a very long time, lovingly done and perfectly fitting. Perhaps made to hold slate pencils, but good for whatever little odds and ends now,
