SOLD 1880s Monogrammed Tin Painter's Box with Palette, Brushes, and Watercolor Tin old wood is just lovely thing--both asFound at a crazy old antique junk shop in central MA on my way back from Brimfield (where it might have been sitting for years) and listed exactly as I found it.

Happily with this great old wooden palette still inside, which slides into a front opening compartment or can be laid flat on top the tray
