RANDOM 341 OBJECT
Antique MINIATURE BLANKET / SUGAR CHEST, Old Paint OHIO-$406
There are three very important facts you should know right up front:
First: It is from a local estate and had descended through the family.
Second: The blue milk paint with stenciled decoration on three sides is original and in nice condition.
Third: The white flaky paint is on top of the original paint, and it has mostly worn off. Fourth: The maker signed it and wrote the name of the Ohio town/village in which he lived.
Fifth: It has not been monkeyed around with since I got it from the estate a few weeks ago. I haven’t even dusted it. It is 100% original in “as found” condition.
