Hand-painted Round Tin Box with Woman on Horseback cricket box great on a desk asLiving in horse country may be rubbing off on me, but every time I look at this fabulous antique hand painted tin box with smartly suited woman on horseback I think, "I want to be her." I believe she is pretty old, c. 1930s, and so she has a few small scrapes and dings, but overall looks great for her age and ready to fiercely guard whatever treasures one might store inside. Approx 5" diameter and 2" tall.
