Fable Lockbox · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Fable Lockbox
Description: 1900? Metal lockbox “il sont trop verts” with fable illustrations on top and four sides. 10.5” x7.5” x 4.75” high. Key is missing. Unknown source.

FG on the top. FC “Two Goats”; WL; and “The Rat Who Retired from the World” on the sides. I suspect that this was meant for a child and was not originally a container for some marketable product. The illustrations may easily have been “borrowed” from some traditional source.
Date: 1900?
