990a. [Coast Guard] Pencil Box. c.1920-30’s.
990a. [Coast Guard] Pencil Box. c.1920-30’s. A wonderful artistic child’s cardboard pencil box by American Pencil Company, featuring four very nice illustrations of the early Coast Guard in action. Illustrations include a large cover view of surfmen pulling toward a foundering ship (shown); the bottom with a large view of surfman with beach apparatus and breeches buoy removing sailors from the wreck; and two smaller illustrations include a beach patrolman with lit Coston flare. The box includes a divided top section, still with a child’s pencil and eraser, and a pull out drawer below. Generally clean, the hinged cover hinges have worn but still intact, edge chipping, but is otherwise complete. This pretty display piece measures 11″ long by 6″ wide and is 1 ½” high. A very rare early Coast Guard collectible. (VG-). $48.
