SOLD Beautifully Primitive Antique Handmade Pine and Tin Marble Maze basket with notched wood handle for which he gives thanksI've had one or two marble "mazes" of this sort over the years, but this is the oldest and the most primitively handmade I've seen, as so of course I think the most beautiful. Turning it over reveals the wood base to be quite a ways from perfectly round, and so the maze, constructed of tin strips set into radially carved niches, is oblong too. I'm sure I've got a few old marbles lying around that I'll send along with it so to be able to play it
