Vintage Japanese Medicine Envelope with Great Graphics saint on cross at sea I certainly love interlocking brass

I certainly love interlocking brass letter and number stencils

I cannot resist objects like this

it would make a very sweet vase for one small bloom

The purpose of a “tip up” is to suspend bait at a set depth

with lush cobalt blue hand-painted ginkgo leaf design over white glaze

Vintage Japanese Medicine Envelope with Great Graphics saint on cross at sea I certainly love interlocking brassTerrific graphics on this old Japanese medicine packet, which appears to cure both headaches and toothaches. I especially love the sad face of the headache plagued man and the tattoo like text on the hands pointing to the pain. More or less pristine condition, crisp and clean and with no real signs of use. 5 1 2" x 2 3 4" with flap open. 1940s or 50s I would guess.
