Pretty (and Useful) Marbled Paper Covered Documents Box, 1894 building set but with no notable chips

but with no notable chips or cracks at all that I can see

so I believe it was meant for matches--which defines our butterfly-winged woman as a fire-starter

very orange orange

though I have not seen another with only homespun fabric

but really a terrific object

Pretty (and Useful) Marbled Paper Covered Documents Box, 1894 building set but with no notable chipsI found this box, covered in marbled paper with gray cloth tape edging, just too pretty to walk away from, and it would be a useful one for stashing letters or clippings or rolled up papers, or a big lot of drawing pencils or markers, too. Nice construction too. With a label inside from the Ruggles Gale Co. Binders and Stationers, Columbus Ohio, and handwritten description of contents on one end relating to "Settlements of June 4, 1894." 9 1 2" x 4 1
