I don't buy much jewelry for the shop but occasionally something calls to me

Around the perimeter of the footed base are two inlaid hearts

The drawing is in excellent condition

with some light scratches to their surfaces here and there

perfect on the countertop in a crisp white kitchen

Rare Antique Penn Art Dustless White Chalk in Original Box with Slide Lid 1940s saltillo I don't buy much jewelryI can find pretty much nothing out there about the Penn Art Crayon Co of Easton, PA so think the company may not have been very long lived; I found all of one listing out there anywhere, and it was for a now sold box of white chalk just like this box (listed for $120!) I have a deep visceral love for old wooden boxes of white chalk, having found a couple of boxes of "Old Faithful" previously, in boxes much like this nice to have chalk around for when
