“Dead Insects for Study, No Commercial Value, Handle with Care” Box gift for the graduate Then another similar tree inside

Then another similar tree inside plus a poem: "I know you'll laugh

with a steel wire loop at the end for hanging

perhaps as the inhabitants or a whole farm or circus set up

and really a special piece

“Dead Insects for Study, No Commercial Value, Handle with Care” Box gift for the graduate Then another similar tree insideSadly the dead insects are long gone from this old wooden box, but the great handwritten label on the top is still fairly readable, and inside still is the cork they were pinned to, with a pretty amazing line drawing with numbers that I guess once corresponded to a key detailing the various bugs, and also notes what I guess was the boxes original contents: Soledad Cuban cigars. Ready now to house a new collection, but great just for whatever. 9" l x 5
