Three (3). Small book form box is likely Canadian. The others possibly Colonial. Early 20th century. Softwood (2). Boot shaped example possibly Yew. Consisting of three unusual "trick boxes" - two with prisoner-of-war origins. The first is a diminutive size example with scratch-carved decoration around the edges. The second one is in the shape of a ladies boot and is marked "PIOW (sic) BERMUDA 1902" (likely prisoner of war as the Boer war was 1899-1902 and many POWs were held in Bermuda). The third example features stylized carved arrows on each side and is signed "P.J. Venten Ficksburg O.J.S. 20 July 1901, Darrells Island". Ficksburg is a city in Free Orange Africa. Darrells Island was a POW setting in Bermuda during the Boer War. A finish was never applied to the surface of this box. Good condition.
