Crayon Holder?

My mom found this dog pulling a circus cart with strange holes in the top. She said it must be a crayon holder.

I’m not sure if that is his intended purpose, but it seems logical enough. If anyone else has a better idea, I’d love to hear it!

Here’s an overhead view, so you can see what I’m talking about.

Whatever he is, he’s cute.

    Crayons make sense. Most things like this are usually lipstick holders but these holes look too small and the dog looks too juvenile. I’d probably stick some Q-Tips in there. I love me some Q-Tips.

      I have no idea when it might have been made but I’m guessing no later than the early 1960s and possibly much earlier.

    This is great. The alarmed expression on the dog is exactly what one would expect from someone who has large cylindrical things in every orifice.

    I really love the vintage crayons just as you have them but I could also consider incense sticks too, especially if it’s the 60’s.
