Perky Black and White Carved Wooden Dog with Glass Eyes and Pink Tongue! 1890s I am pretty certain this

I am pretty certain this sweet

to hold two decks

There is a tiny bit of warping to the lid such that is closes a hair short of flush on the left side

I love the labelling of the tram road

but then slides open smoothly

Perky Black and White Carved Wooden Dog with Glass Eyes and Pink Tongue! 1890s I am pretty certain thisI'm a sucker for a carved dog, and this one's got a lot of character, looking to me as if it might just have spotted a cat in the distance! Great face, with fabulous freckles whiskers, glass eyes that read to me as very pale blue, and pinkish red tongue hanging out. 7" long x 5" tall x 2" deep. I would guess maybe 1950s or so but am not completely sure; I don't believe much older than that. Great condition.
