A wooden jewelry box has a lid depicting two men in fur-lined parkas against a mountain landscape. Finger-jointed corners join the sides, and the lid opens to an inset mirror above a compartment lined with colorful floral paisley. The mirror has areas of silvering loss near its upper edge. Four wooden shoe lasts accompany the box, including one stamped Morton Last Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, and another marked PEDIGOS. Lasts were used as foot-shaped forms around which shoemakers shaped the leather of a shoe. These examples retain stamped numbers and darkened, worn surfaces, with different toe shapes and construction details visible across the group. A pair of wooden Scottish terrier bookends has red-collared dogs standing against book-shaped uprights. A novelty rolling pin signed Jan is painted with roses and the humorous inscription "Snoring Deterrent". A shallow bowl and a tall wooden stand with a curved central support complete the grouping. The stand measures approximately 6" x 6" x 18" tall.
