The planter is glazed a lovely variegated mossy green

I found one other Lucky Strikes box to which a copper cover had been added--not nearly as fine as this one

Ratchet Style Old Handmade Wooden Noisemaker tourist plate The planter is glazed aThese old noisemakers aka clappers, clackers, battle rattles, etc. are pretty fun to wave around, with a strong motion of the arm producing a satisfying, loud thwack as the tongue slaps the side of the notched wheel as it turns (or, of course, one can just use a second hand to turn it.) A perfect, simple design solution to the need to make noise(!), it's also just a great looking object this one with boxed end stained green, and a nice turned handle.
