2 ANTIQUE WOOD BOXES horse nails/climax cakes + 2 BASKETS- $24
A dovetailed box for your horse nails and another for your Climax cakes – an oval basket with a lid and another bowl-shaped basket that’s likely Northwest Coast Native American. That is what I’m sellin’ here. From your perspective, it should be relatively painless, but it hurts me to get rid of an old box. With boxes, it never fails: The day after I ship it to you, I’ll find myself rummaging around in the barn looking for one to put something in for which it would have been just right. Never fails.
