Fancy Old Czech Darning Egg, Inlaid Wood MoMA I found one other Lucky

I found one other Lucky Strikes box to which a copper cover had been added--not nearly as fine as this one

2 1/8" across at lip

framed by more sticks and bits

the pom poms at the bottom

I have found a number of other examples of vintage pieces made by Gerson

Fancy Old Czech Darning Egg, Inlaid Wood MoMA I found one other LuckyI find these old inlaid wood darning eggs so pretty, and such satisfying things roll around in one's hand, that I have a hard time resisting them when I find them. And I like that the inlay pattern on this one is not exactly regular or predictable perfectly imperfect. Just nice set on the shelf, maybe in a little egg cup or old wooden goblet, or on the desk to toss around while thinking or a nice thing to start collecting and fill a big bowl with!
