I'm pretty certain the bristles here are squirrel hair
with those beautiful tall capital letters and dates stamped into it
and really love the cutout windows at the the helm and the tiny steering wheel one can spy from above
I believe the year on the postmark on reverse is 1904
15 3/4" x 11 3/4" and in very good condition
Two Trails of Smoke (for Bernice), Charming c 1920s Ink Drawing of Smoking Woman on Pedestal animal mold I'm pretty certain the bristlesThis drawing is one of two ink over graphite drawings, clearly by the same person, listed today, which I like for their curiousness, and for the women who are their subjects, who look quite self possessed, this one perched on what looks like the remnant of a classical column, smoking away, as if sitting back and watching the fall of Rome! 6 1 2" x 4 7 8", good condition, c. 1920s I believe.
