Wonderful Small Antique Carved Pine Man with Excellent Straight-lipped Face pretty jewelry and a faint penciled numberThis wonderful little carved man I know came out of the same collection as the antique clothes pin shaped figure and the carved dog also listed today a collection of folk objects carefully and thoughtfully built by a couple in Michigan over many years with tastes aligning very much with my own. I purchased them from an Ohio based dealer at the Rhinebeck show, and would have scooped up everything he had acquired from their collection if I could have.
