Old Red Painted Cigar Box Train or Traveling Circus Car with Screened Windows vintage game design a jewelry designer from BahiaI'm thinking this very sweet cigar box on wheels might have been made by a parent or grandparent long ago as part of a traveling circus set; it seems well suited to house a lion or tiger behind those screens (though would also make a great cricket cage.) I especially love the screen covered round cutout window at the front end, and the yellow painted fully rotating axels and wheels. Lots of love invested in this. Box itself: 8 5 8 l x 4 5 8d x 5 5 8
