I found the post card first, and then ran across this box and the set was complete! Do you have a friend/family member that is a golfer? Wouldn't this be a fun little gift to display the love of the game, and to use to store old score cards or other small golfing items?

In the early 1900's Pyrography was the art of decorating wood or leather with a heated tool to burn the design onto the object. This box is a perfect example of how charming this decorative style could be with its depiction of a lady golfer heading out for a summer time game of golf. I believe this is a later version of the antique style. It was most likely used to hold gloves or hankies, or other items of utility and proudly displayed on top of the dresser in the early American home. There's a fabulous edge detailing around the entire cover and box edges.

This darling box is in nice condition with no cracks or mechanical issues. The nail for one of the hinges is more obvious on the lid but it still holds it in place well. The lady golfer image is on both sides of the lid. The front image has some red and green coloring added to brighten up the presentation. On the two back sides are hinged antique brass fittings that allow the top to be lifted easily and set back down when not in use.

The box displays so well with the post card from Fenton Drug Co. The post card is Copyright 1903 by Joseph Tetlow (per the bottom left hand corner). It has UP on a banner in the top left hand corner and one of the ladies is also wearing a shirt with UP on it. I'm not sure what that represents! The other lady has a F on her shirt. The corners of the postcard are a bit scuffed and there are pin holes in each corner from having been displayed at one time. The back has Fenton Drug Co. They Have It stamped on the back and some residue from tape.

Really cute together!
