12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina choppy seascape See above notes and detail

See above notes and detail photos for condition

but the sentences are great--not loaded with the religiosity of the second great awakening

And the joy of opening it to discover it goes on and on and on and on

And I do like to think of these as the hands of two different people

and then stippled black hair and red crosses for his eyes--perfectly offset by the great green of the handle

12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina choppy seascape See above notes and detailHard to tell the scale here but this is a large one a foot long and an old one, 19th century I believe, with remnants of original dry red paint. The six balls inside are fairly small for the "cage" meaning that they naturally land in a staggered way, as show in first several photos, which I really love. Terrific old patina, substantial presence, nice both stood on end and laid horizontal. 12" x 2 1 8" x 2 1 8". Very good antique condition, no losses,
