Welcome to one all.
Today’s shop offering is a wonderful old brass desk organizer.
This piece might have been overlooked by quite a few people before someone with the curiosity of a cat (me) picked it up and opened the lid.
I love this kind of surprise. Look at all these cool old tools! Little tiny screwdrivers, little industrial tweezers, the strangest paper clip I’ve ever seen, a magnet and clock(?) tools + more.
Keep in mind, this organizer is only about 7″ long so those are tiny tools.
I was able to find a company by this name doing business in Kansas City MO in 1913 – could this be an item of promotional advertising from them? Maybe.
The organizer itself is worthy of collecting but having it full of tools – that’s what I’m talking about, a treasure chest!
There’s three divided sections inside and look at that patina of age – love it. The organizer and all the tools come as a package deal at Old Raven on Etsy, just click:

You might be wondering what’s going on in my craft room lately. Well, I saw a picture on Craigslist a while back of an Antique Toy, someone was advertising that they bought Antique and Vintage toys. But the picture was that of a toy boat/ship, pretty primitive and mounted on wheels for a child to pull around. I love those old toys on wheels and have made a few of my own versions – Examples:
These are just a few things I’ve made with wheels, I just can’t seem to help myself, if I can add wheels, I probably will.
Anyways, the picture of that ship toy on wheels became a challenge for me. What kind of ship could I make. So that’s what’s happening in my craft room and hopefully it will be presented to you here shortly, so stay tuned.
Thanks for following along. – Kriss
