Brass Mouse with Long Tail! antique brush and a great little box

and a great little box for stashing something special

Always on the prowl for beautiful wooden boxes

One hinge is attached by a fitted wire rather than the original pin and one corner of the box is slightly bent (both well documented in the photos)

San Francisco de Yarinacocha

It was purchased from the estate of an architect and architectural historian in Kansas City

Brass Mouse with Long Tail! antique brush and a great little boxSuch s sweet little mouse, whose long tail could be used near a cash register for punching receipts, on a desk for holding rubber bands, or in a bathroom or on a vanity for holding rings. Or it could just sit around looking cute! In good vintage condition, with a nice warm patina, it measures 6" tall to top of tail and is 2. 5" nose to tail.
