A leather-covered box with a snap clasp lined in red velvet-like fabric. The lid features a painted, embossed landscape image (a blue river, pine forest on its banks, and cloud-filled sky) and the words "Handkerchiefs" in large cursive font and "Old Town, ME." in block capitals. The box contains four different handkerchiefs, folded, and a scented sachet with a poinsettia flower embroidered on it. The box was likely made in the 1960s or later.
