This is a very weathered, primitive carved head of a bearded man. It is painted red, white, blue, and brown. It was found in Shreveport, LA, and probably dates to the 1930's or 40's. He is a cheerful fellow, standing 20" high, 8 1/2" wide, and 6 1/2" deep. While wood and paint are weathered, he is strong and sturdy, in very good display condition. The price is $325.00.

This is a folky house with chip carved tramp art elements, and great old paint decoration. It was made in the early 1900's and is constructed from crate wood, and pine. The house is 20" long, 11" wide at the eaves, and 13 3/4" high to the top of the chimney. The colors are red, white, and blue, plus some wood which has naturally aged to a light gray. The paints have taken on a wonderful patina and some have crazed or crackled. The house has other folk decoration such as stones inset in a panel on the rear and dots of white on the front top. Each of the chip carved notches on the front porch was also painted in blue or red. There are two side benches under the covered porch. The door opens to reveal the inner house. Everything is nailed and still fairly sturdy, although there is some little movement of a few pieces. The windows are glass. There is a bit of normal loss to the paint and perhaps the house was at one time decorated with more stones or shells. Overall, this is a colorful and rather intricate folk art model. The price is $425.00. Inventory Code: TTHC. Chip-carved house ... Another view ... One side ... Front view ... The other side ... Back view ... Closeup ... Another closeup ...

This is a painted wood barrel, with a slot in the lid for collections. It is decorated with red, white, blue, maroon, and silver, with the words "Elevator Fund" "Want To Walk Or Ride!", and a large hand with extended thumb. Part of the lid is hinged, to remove the collections, with a metal hasp. It stands 30" high, and is 18" in diameter at the top, about 21" in diameter at the middle. Age is c. 1940's, and it is in good display condition. Because the wood has shrunk with age, the upper metal hoop is a little bigger than the barrel, however, it is securely in place. The bottom of the barrel, and a bottom hoop are missing, but the barrel is still solid and sturdy. It makes a great end table, or start a collection for your own elevator. The price is $495.00.

This is a birdhouse made like the Starship Enterprise. It was done by Eugene Poore probably in the 1970's or '80's. He called it the "Starship Energizer". It is made from found objects, including a pantry or cheese box, wood, tin, dowels, and a banister part. It is painted an old red, white, and blue. The birds' houses are in the main body and both nacelles.
The Energizer is in good condition with typical weathering from outdoor use. Some of the dowels have been replaced, but that doesn't show. It is 42" long, about 17" high", and 38" wide; and was definitely used by birds (possibly from the Klingon home world). The price is $425.00. Inventory Code: PKAT. One side ... Overall ...

This is a very visual red, white, and blue strip quilt. It looks so much more striking in person than in the photos. This quilt was made in the 1940's or 50's from red, white, and blue nylon or polyester, with an unbleached cotton back and red cotton binding. It is hand pieced and hand quilted, in excellent, near mint condition: very clean and crisp. The binding is very slightly faded. One corner of the binding has faint remnants of what looks like a paper sticker that could probably be removed. It measures 72" by 83", and came from an estate in Geneseo, IL. The price is $375.00.
