and lunar phenomenon specifically

Very solid and sturdy and beautifully constructed

I believe it was likely made as a tourist souvenir

Dating I'd think to the late 19th century or so

I bought this box with three sets of cards inside based on one photo not revealing much

Very Sweet Blue and White Painted Folk Art House Bank laggard tackett and lunar phenomenon specificallyI'll never pass on a good little folk art house, and think this is a very sweet, nicely constructed one, 1930s 40s, made as a coin bank, and painted this cheerful white and blue. Plenty of wear around the slot in the roof telling us it surely accumulated some riches! There is a hole in the bottom via which coins or bills could be retrieved. 5 1 4" t x 5 3 4" w x 54 15 16" d and in good overall condition, nicely aged.
