Handsome and Useful c. 1940s Pencil Box with Deco Faux Inlay Graphic jugtown plates MA to hold steel carpetThe decoration on the face of this old wooden pencil box is not actual inlay it is a litho graphic but until one runs a finger over it to find it smooth, one might never know. I just thought it was smart looking, and I think one can never have too many pencil boxes! And the hinged lid closes really tight, making it a good one to carry around should one want to throw it in a satchel! 8 5 8" x 3 1 4" x 1" C. 1940s or so I would guess, good condition
