    Description

    This is an old folk art box/chest, two sliding drawers made of wood with brass knobs and corners. Appears to date to the 1960s based on style and appearance. Someone has completely covered it with Lincoln pennies of various dates, most seeming to be 1970s to 1990s with a few later, perhaps replacements for pennies that fell off. Acquired at a yard sale in a black neighborhood of Los Angeles.
    About 7 x 7 x 7 inches in size.
    Condition is as shown. Dusty from estate.
    A unique object--we've never seen one like it.
