And so are the Bargains. I’ll be listing a lot of great items at great prices to make way for more great finds from my summer ventures. ANTIQUE FOLK ART FIGURAL THREAD STRING HOLDER TREEN BOX PAINTED MAN TOP HAT. Item Description: Here’s a very folky hand-made treen box, likely from the late 19th c. It’s in the form of a man in a top hat with a vest and pinstriped top coat and trousers; and he has a mustache & a painted beard. The box has wonderful carved and painted details. He’s just the right size to hold a small ball of string or large spool of thread. I’m not sure if the string is original to the box, but will include it with the box. Condition: Very good antique condition, with just minor, age-appropriate surface wear (see photos). 6″ H by 3″ W.
