just a bit of dust/tiny bits of wood under the glass in one corner

I have removed a little wax and there is some blackening to the interior/around the rim of the candleholder just visible on the back side (see photos

It also seems that one could use these as candleholders--perhaps with a candle in one and matches in the other

Pink and Black Painted Long Wooden Snake! teal just a bit of dust/tinyOne could use this snake to play stickball, or to smash a piata, or to hold down a pile of papers on a windy day. I think its pretty great, painted bubblegum pink with these black diamonds all down its back, and then a funny little face, complete with eyebrows at the rounded end. Pretty fun. 23 1 4 long x 2 3 4" wide and 1 3 4" deep. Solid wood. Scratches and dings and scuffs here and there show that it's been used for a variety of purposes!
