Roaring Yellow Lion, Great, Much Loved, Old Wooden Pull Along Toy coasters The logo on this salesman

The logo on this salesman sample binder of five pages worth of surgical needles dates it to the late 1920s or so

I think the combination of charcoal black glaze with soft green around the rim of the vessel and lid and on the lid's center handle is just perfect

between the palette and the patterns

embodying both the possibilities and limitations of representation at a specific point in time

Roaring Yellow Lion, Great, Much Loved, Old Wooden Pull Along Toy coasters The logo on this salesmanI'm not sure the maker of this old pull along toy lion I am sure not a one off, though it doesn't feel at all a far cry (or roar!) from folk art examples of the early 20th century. A boldly painted and terrifically graphic charmer in any case, and still rolling along, with a wooden tail (if a bit worse of the wear) that still raises and lowers. Great on a high shelf, guarding the room! 11 1 2" l x 6 1 4" w x 10 3 4" t. One piece of loss to mane on one
