Antique Hand-carved Book Shaped Vesta (One Tiny Split) boats on water in very good shapeYou know I love a book shaped anything, and this is really a lovely antique carved hardwood vesta, with detailed spine, recessed sides, and carved flip up top opening. With nice brass nails all around, too. Good still for holding matches, or other precious little things. 2 7 8" x 1 13 16" x 3 4". Good overall condition, with one little split near the top of the spine as detailed.
