To my taste

Coney Island Vintage Handkerchief Box with Waterskier glass pitcher who founded his aluminum businessI just adore the painted water skiing woman on this vintage handkerchief box, a souvenir from Coney Island circa 1950s. Constructed of leather covered cardboard with a red fabric lining, it's definitely seen some use, but I think is all the better for it. If no longer for handkerchiefs, I think it would be terrific for holding love letters, or else an assortment of trinkets collected on various travels. The box measures 5 3 4 square and 1 5 8" tall.
