Fine Large Turned Wood Clothespin Stig Lindberg Made for standard candles

Made for standard candles

presumably for Vermont

and the others of which are attached to the wrists

This is a wonderful set of 9 vintage Burmese lacquer coasters with very fine incised decoration

enhancing the feeling of this as its own little homestead

Fine Large Turned Wood Clothespin Stig Lindberg Made for standard candlesThis is the most beautiful clothes pin I think I've ever seen. And it is oversized, making it feel all the more a special object. I'd probably use it on my desk to hold a pile of clippings or drawings together, or it would certainly make for a very elegant way to seal a big bag of potato chips! 7" long x 5 8" wide x 1 2" deep and in excellent condition, with just very light wear. I'd guess it dates to the very early 20th century.
