a wonderful piece of mid-century Americana folk art! This unique 1960s decoupage \"box purse\" features the highly collectible \"Village Square\" motif, showcasing charming individual paper cutouts of a Produce Market, Church, Sweets Shop, and Bank.What makes this particular piece incredibly special is its base. While it looks like a traditional wooden box purse from the front, turning it upside down reveals an authentic vintage metal dome-top lunchbox. The bottom retains the original crisp factory stamp reading: \"A THERMOS Brand Product — The American Thermos Products Co., Norwich, Conn., U.S.A.\" Based on the company name and factory location, the underlying metal lunchbox dates precisely between 1956 and 1962.****PLEASE SEE PHOTOS - THERE IS SOME PEELING ON THE BACK ****
