and a nice hook closure at front and hinge on back

it would also be great with some small cut branches of ginko

C. 1880s Much Used Antique Tin Coin Bank handmade vintage ashtray and a nice hook closureI really like the wear on this one, suggesting someone dropped a small fortune in it over the course of more than a century. There is also something a bit haunting to me about it, as if embodying a kind of desperation and or a crumbling of the literal and proverbial bank, or house, or church, which I believe it was actually meant to be, with pinnacles at each corner the points which are long since gone. 4 1 8" t x 2 3 8" w x 1 5 16" d.
