This antique Japanese lacquered tabletop cabinet --Kodansu

I believe it dates to the first half of the 20th century

German Tin Litho Football Shaped Old Candy Box primitive tool The white and green glazesAlways a sucker for an interesting box, I really love this little tin litho football. The perfect thing for your favorite athlete to carry Ibuprofen in! I believe it dates to the 1930s and originally held candy. Made in Germany. Some small dings and scratches as there should be. Opens fine and closes tightly. 2 1 4" long x 1 1 2" across.
