It's Wet! Silkscreen on Cardboard Sapolin Paint Signs 1962 and I believe it dates

and I believe it dates from the early 20th century when it would have been used as a festival dance mask

Lots of use left in it

Another wonderful box

I can almost hear this little carved wooden bird chirping away in its little wire cage

which appears to be signed by hand on the far left side of one face

It's Wet! Silkscreen on Cardboard Sapolin Paint Signs 1962 and I believe it datesI think these old Sapolin Paint "It's Wet!" signs are just gorgeous! I'm a big fan of old Sapolin products to begin with (they sold little bottles of gold paint for Japanning in terrific dome lidded turned wooden boxes that I always grab when I find them), and clearly their good design sense carried through to their signage. These signs appear to be silkscreens (the red and blue are super lush and vivid) printed on a nice weight cream board.
