As Found, Evocative Old Sheepskin Emery Bundle with Pins Everywhere interior door knocker I love the paperback covers

I love the paperback covers on these

the leather bottle has really nice age and wear to it

and what looks like a tulip on stem in the other

richly patinated antique condition

and very satisfying paint job

As Found, Evocative Old Sheepskin Emery Bundle with Pins Everywhere interior door knocker I love the paperback coversI think this is just a great found object, certainly with an aspect of the voodoo doll to it. The leather, sheepskin I believe, holds emery powder, used for sharpening pins and needles. Tied with a red ribbon sort of a make do emery, about as far a cry from a silk strawberry as could be! Exactly as found, pins sticking out in all directions. 2 1 2" x 1 3 8" x 1". Sound and stable, exactly as found. The ribbon is old, so I'd be a bit gentle handling it.
