Fabulous Old Handmade "Club Checkers" Box, with Checkers handiwork notable for the painted tips

notable for the painted tips of their handles

though a row of votive candles and a few pine sprigs could be pretty festive for the holidays

or a dose of loveliness on your desk

Or give it a good clean with some butcher block cleaner and use it for serving cheese and crackers

I tighten the screws on the arms a bit and they are nice and tight

Fabulous Old Handmade "Club Checkers" Box, with Checkers handiwork notable for the painted tipsDefinitely among my favorite boxes I've found is this wonderfully primitive handmade checkers box with this fantastic hand drawn paper label spelling "club checkers" in round letters and with two little clubs to boot.
