19th Century Hand-Punched Tin Pie Safe Panel #1 4th edition so moody-dreamyOne of two of these antique hand punched tin panels listed today, found together in inland Maine, and which just struck me as really lovely, especially with light coming through from behind. These would have been panels in an old pie safe, with the punched holes allowing for air flow. I love the patterns, and am especially partial to this one, which feels improvisational in all it manages to pack in. 14" x 10 1 8". Loss to lower left corner and
