1940s Cast Metal SRG Co. Tyrannosaurus Rex bone handle brush British) snuff boxAnother joyful little thing. I believe these SRG dinosaurs were sold at the Natural History Museum in New York in the 1940s, and it is a rare day that I come across one now. How to resist a little T Rex, arms raised as if wanting a hug? Cast metal of a nice weight, with brass finish that shows some nice greening. 2 1 16" t x 2 5 8" l. A bit of surface loss here and there shot under magnification, but overall good condition.
