Eglantine American Tobacco Company 20 Cent Plugs Box vintage claws and the stuffing

and the stuffing

though it reminds me so much of the work of Clarice Cliff (British)

I spotted this watercolor high on the wall at an antique shop in Manchester

including simplicity

and the monkey would climb up the string

Eglantine American Tobacco Company 20 Cent Plugs Box vintage claws and the stuffingI 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
