Sweet Old Tole Painted Buttons Tin with Bird antique tool and then ears and eyes

and then ears and eyes and legs and tail nailed and/or welded on

without a missing bit

and heavy ordnance for the Union in the Civil War

but it is overall in very good vintage condition

Sweet Old Tole Painted Buttons Tin with Bird antique tool and then ears and eyesJust a sweet old hand painted tin, maybe originally a spice tin but which has definitely served its announced purpose I found it full of buttons and will include them if you'd like 'em! It's the cheerful yellow bird that really sold me, but I love lettering to, arching along the curve of the lid. 3 5 8" in diameter; 1 3 8: tall. Some loss and aging to the black paint, all to the good in my opinion. Lid comes off easily and closes tight.
