This wonderful double-sided enamel sign from France is quite an amazing find. It is in great condition for its age with a red background and white lettering. There are light scratches and a few areas where enamel is missing, mostly along the edges & along the side where you hang it, but nothing at all to detract from the charm of this vintage sign. This is not a reproduction. Measures approximately 15-1/2 inches by 10 inches.

I found this delightful tin box at an antique show in Reims, in the Champagne region of France. Circa 1920's, children used a box like this one to take their "gouter" or snack, to school. On the top there is an adorable image of a cat & a child running from a mischievous dog, and a small mouse appears on the side. Other than minor paint touch-ups to the child's leg (see photos) this box is in good shape. It measures approx 7" long x 3-1/2" wide x 2-3/4" high (5-1/2" to top of handle).
