Wonderful Old Hand-carved, Painted Man with Glasses carving by rita but also from what I

but also from what I can tell a rare one

with just a bit of wear to the interior

and how useful for so many purposes

A couple of pages show staining as pictured but overall pretty good condition and the construction type paper on which they were drawn is not especially brittle

A little roughness to the edges of the spinner but overall great condition with I'd guess 100 years or more on it

Wonderful Old Hand-carved, Painted Man with Glasses carving by rita but also from what IA charmer of an old carving, with this dapper fellow looking to me as if about to accept an important award, perhaps a Pulitzer, or an Oscar, or the Nobel Prize! As such, he seems especially good company to me and one with whom I might share all of my best ideas! Really wonderfully done, those excellent spectacles best of all, with blue eyes behind them and a terrifically painterly face. 4 7 16" t x 1 1 2" w x 1" d and in excellent condition, 1940s or
