I made the coloured glass fill ins at each end. Sourced the antique glass from a local leadlight repairer.

    I've also read that some carry fish or other items and this denotes the purpose of the journey - i.e. fishing etc. This one carries a head. The Solomon Islanders at one time were headhunters.

    The top lifts up an has a storage tray for items. A lamp that plugs in. I took the cord off as it was dry rotted. A small draw at the bottom. Solid cedar with veneer tiger maple book matched panels and inlays. Missing a few pcs but it cost me $60 at a garage sale 2004. I'll keep it. Any idea what it's worth? I can't find it on any sites.

    As a graphic designer, I love the graphics and lettering on this and all of the tin signs, fruit crate labels, and ephemera I have collected over the years. IMG_3709-6...35c544.jpg IMG_3709-6102b5d35c544.jpg
