Funny Old Welded Iron Caterpillar birch box once framed

once framed

And it still works great--pull down on the loop between his legs and the arms and knees raise high

I really have no idea

I might just fill it with paperclips and set it on the desk

to the leafy trees

Funny Old Welded Iron Caterpillar birch box once framedKind of silly, but kind of sweet! I'm not sure, but wonder whether the cast iron balls that comprise his body might be old musket balls (?), which someone decided to turn into a little caterpillar at some point, welding on the iron legs, antennae, and button eyes and nose. At any rate, its definitely pretty old, and fairly rusty, and not fussy at all, which I think is much of what makes it good! 4 3 8" l x 1 3 4" w x 2 1 8" t.
