Sweet Old Make Do Wood and Baking Pan Divided Carrying Caddy vintage wooden crate The loom itself was made

The loom itself was made expressly to perform its function: two of the pieces of wood were notched to allow the other two to lock squarely on top of them

super tight stitching around the base of the pin cushion where it meets the glass (not a bit of wiggle) and wonderful hand-sewn patchwork covering

19 1/2" tall x about 6 1/2" wide and 2 3/4" deep

I find the combination of the form and surface decoration just perfect

In very good vintage condition

Sweet Old Make Do Wood and Baking Pan Divided Carrying Caddy vintage wooden crate The loom itself was madeA sweet example of make do innovation, the likes of which I've never seen before an old heavy tin baking pan turned into divided carrying caddy through the addition of four pieces of wood and some nails. I'd guess used by a handyman (or just a handy man) for hardware, and definitely it was well used, with a few nails added here and there to shore up a few splits in the wood of the handle divider long ago. 9 5 8" x 5 1 2" x 4 3 8" t. Great old patina,
