“Dead Insects for Study, No Commercial Value, Handle with Care” Box gift for the graduate though the photos make it

though the photos make it look a little bluer than it is

with many many tumbles left in it

perhaps as the inhabitants or a whole farm or circus set up

“Dead Insects for Study, No Commercial Value, Handle with Care” Box gift for the graduate though the photos make itSadly the dead insects are long gone from this old wooden box, but the great handwritten label on the top is still fairly readable, and inside still is the cork they were pinned to, with a pretty amazing line drawing with numbers that I guess once corresponded to a key detailing the various bugs, and also notes what I guess was the boxes original contents: Soledad Cuban cigars. Ready now to house a new collection, but great just for whatever. 9" l x 5
