Camels Forever: Vintage Folk Art Cigarette Pack Wreath pen nib but also pens and pencils

but also pens and pencils

made of walnut I believe

under glass in a simple black stained wood frame with original cardboard backing and hanging wire

And quite an effort the maker of this match stick box put into cutting all of those matchsticks just right (more or less) to surround the inlay of this particular wooden star

Camels Forever: Vintage Folk Art Cigarette Pack Wreath pen nib but also pens and pencilsI can never resist these intricately folded cigarette pack tramp art prison art wreaths, this one made from many dozens of Camel wrappers, the silver foil reflecting light, and the yellow gold shining like the sun. I like these just hung from a nail on the wall (especially a collection of them together), but also perhaps the perfect Christmas tree topper! 5 1 4" d, very good condition, c. mid 20th century.
