Todays obscure ebay bargain

A SNIP AT ONLY £9.99




THIS ITEM STARTED LIFE IN I BELIEVE THE LATE 18TH CENTURY AS A TRINKET BOX OF AN INDIAN BOYS HEAD IT WOULD HAVE HAD A LID IN THE FORM OF A TURBAN BUT AT SOMETIME IT HAS HAD A VELVET PAD INSERTED IN THE TOP AND USED AS A PIN / HAT PIN CUSHION THE BASE IS IN GOOD CONDITION NO CHIPS OR CRACKS LOOKS TO BE HAND PAINTED 4 INCHES BY 4 INCHES THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PAD WHICH COULD BE REMOVED IF NOT REQUIRED BUT I THINK THIS IS A QUIRKY ITEM AND WOULD ADORN ANY COLLECTION

If it was late 18th century it would be worth £500

every home should have one.
