Race Horse Dresser Box

This equestrian dresser box—made between the wars—is crafted of Syrocowood, a moulded blend of wood pulp and a binding resin.  A race horse's profile is beautifully sculpted in bas relief upon the cover.  The box may have held cigarettes at one time.  Today it would be perfect on a desk (with office supplies) or on the dresser (with cufflinks watches and collar stays).  It would also be a great pocket caddy next to the door.   (2.25" x 6.25" x 5")   bx13192c c. 1930's - 1940's
