J.P Rock's Tole Lock Box, with Key Ohio carving with a bit of collage

with a bit of collage on top

Made from what was ready at hand

J.P Rock's Tole Lock Box, with Key Ohio carving with a bit of collageOne sees late 19th earlyish 20th century tin lock boxes around, but I couldn't; t pass up this one personalized with the great name of "J.
