Donald Allen's Sweet and Useful Homemade Square Trivet wire scrubber There are a few smallA sweet old handmade trivet, perfectly imperfectly letterpress stamped "Donald Allen" on the underside. I can't not bring home things like this, which Donald was clearly proud of, and it would make an excellent platform pedestal for sorts for all sorts of things. Useful on the table of course, too. 6 x 6 x 1 3 8 and in very good condition, nice patina, very sturdy and sound.
