Picked up at the last sale of the day. It is in rough condition but I bought it for my personal collection. In all my years of picking I have never found this kind of item. I have seen many later styled or lesser quality ones. So I grabbed it when I had the chance. The seller said it was his grandmothers or great grandmothers he gave it a date of the 20's.
