Donald Allen's Sweet and Useful Homemade Square Trivet indigo from the images

from the images

but I have never seen another set like this: inside the walls of each of the boxes are what I'd guess are tiny metal balls

though certainly there is a “right” way to assemble him

but this small scale one is the first I've really felt compelled to purchase

Some wear to the enamel and a little wear to the lettering

Donald Allen's Sweet and Useful Homemade Square Trivet indigo from the imagesA sweet old handmade trivet, perfectly imperfectly letterpress stamped "Donald Allen" on the underside. I can't not bring home things like this, which Donald was clearly proud of, and it would make an excellent platform pedestal for sorts for all sorts of things. Useful on the table of course, too. 6 x 6 x 1 3 8 and in very good condition, nice patina, very sturdy and sound.
