    Obviously could be better shape, but I could not pass it up at $6 at an antique mall. The box holds together perfectly, quite stable, but there has been tape that pulled part of the illustration. Measures 10x8x4 inches.

    Curious how old it is!

    The part inside in much better shape. That red tape positively not original.

    Do you think this would have been a gift box from a retail store?

    Well done Debora and Roaring20s! Thanks! :)

    Not sure what I am going to do with it, but would be cool to store Christmas items, etc!

    I love "old father Winter" on the side.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I love boxes like this! Haven't owned many, though.

    Looks like someone didn't value it, back when; I see scotch tape marks on the poor thing.
