Out of the box

 

It's National Red Wine Day! And once again I am shilling this Adult Juice Box design. I think it is funny because I think boxed wine is just fine. But it is kind of the moped of wine. It is fun, but you don't want anyone seeing you with it.

Speaking of boxes. I found this intriguing item at Goodwill yesterday.



It's a simple wooden box that is only about 7 inches across. But it is made entirely of wood, including the clasps and the hinges.



So my guess is that is tramp art. Tramp art is a form of folk woodworking that was done in the US from about the 1870s through the 1940s. It was generally created with scrap wood and simple tools. 



This is a bit more refined and simple from your normal tramp art, but that's what I think it is.  I truly appreciate it and hope to flip it on eBay for major bucks.

I'm just a sentimental kind of person that way.
