    History or origin unknown. It has been in the family for several generations as a "bobble" holder. Any help would be appreciated.

      It is called "tramp art".

      Cigar boxes were often used as the base to create decorative boxes.

      Yours is a very nice example-- the pin cushion on top would make me think it was created to be a sewing box.
