One-of-a-kind handmade seashell keepsake box from the 1940s, created by a 10-year-old girl and still holding her original photograph and handwritten note inside. A true WW II–era childhood treasure. Covered in real shells with a tiny mirror, lined interior, and decades of honest age and charm. Some shell loss consistent with its 80+ years, but the story and provenance are what make this piece truly rare. A museum-worthy folk art memory object.
