Blue and White Porcelain Enamel Old Street Sign Fragment: DO / ST. handmade pig is in good used condition

is in good used condition

which unfold to reveal a velveteen interior designed to hold Singer sewing machine attachments

and would guess 1940s or earlier

I'd say this little piece really captures a sense of "bear-ness"

very heavy for its size so great as a paperweight

Blue and White Porcelain Enamel Old Street Sign Fragment: DO / ST. handmade pig is in good used conditionI like the resourcefulness of whoever cut this old street sign down to a fragment long ago, yielding simply ST. on one side and DO on the other (with just the edge of a V). The deep blue porcelain enamel surface is pretty gorgeous, all the better for the rusty, irregular edges. Succinctly motivating when displayed on the DO side, and then the ST. could stand for anywhere, or also signify sainthood once the doing is done! 7 3 4" wide x 6 3 8" tall and
