A kindly man who welcomed visitors to his little vessel-home on the beach

and I just love them--as beautiful photographs

Though he definitely appears ready to wield it like a sword

it is up to you

Red Cross, 10 Cents, Metal Lock Box Turned Donation Collection Bank, WW2 Era Panji A kindly man who welcomedFound in Vermont, I presume this "make do" donation box is WW2 period, when dime collecting for the war effort was at its height. Many good things rolled into one here, that bold red painted Red Cross high among them! The 10 c was done with white tape, medical tape I might guess. Adaptations born of necessity, turning a small metal lock box into a donation collection bank, which feels both very of its time and also very timely. 5" x 3 9 16" x 2 11
