This is not a craft item but I wanted to share it. I went to a local recycling centre this week. If you are not familiar with these places they are where people take their unwanted goods and those that are in reasonable enough condition are sold to the public. I found this lovely old piece in a box of rubbish. It is a holder for a fob watch and would have been placed on a desk. The part with the little girl on it pulled out, up and back to reveal the velvet-lined area for the watch. It is Edwardian, judging by the little girl's outfit. I was rather perplexed by her cross expression at first, then I realised she is giving her dolly a stern ticking off!
This cost £1 (about $2). The watch didn't come with it - I borrowed it for the photo.
