Great folk art box/candle holder.

I purchased this piece of folk art from an antique shop along the Oregon coast a few years ago.

As you can see by the images it is a lockable trinket box, with a built-in candle holder.  I have never seen anything like this before and therefore had to purchase it.

I would guess that it was made by an artist living along the Oregon coast, but that is speculation.   The shop owner had it for the same reason I did, when he saw it he couldn’t pass it up.

It was crafted with welded metal components and painted with house paint.

I would estimate the age to be from the middle of the 20th century.

Measures 14 inches long, by 5.5 inches wide, by 3 inches tall.

Price  $600
