how good is this box?
it's better than the game. I'm planning on framing this next week. I'd like to say it's for the shop, but I have a feeling this one may sneak upstairs for a wee bit.
ug - have to say that this box brings back some serious childhood memories - we had that set of checkers above the fire place and I wanted to play with the famiglia. Mum had told me to wait until she got it down but did I listen? Oh no - up on tippy tippy tippy toes I reached up to get the box down and the lid tipped and then disaster - all the checkers dropped into the fire and started exploding and melting like crazy. I can still see the blackened melted checkers. It was one of those life lessons - when someone asks you to wait sometimes it's a very good idea to listen!
We have now closed our shopfront in North Melbourne but you can still find us online, specialising in vintage toys and collectables, photography, artwork, handmade and quirky new finds.

I like...
And it will look even better after one of your framing jobs!
Have a nice weekend!
Yes, this is a great box.
I can still remember how cold the marbles of this game would be when you took them out of the box. :)
