Folky wood Carving of Uncle Sam with an old original painted surface. Possibly used originally as a mailbox holder in a rural setting. Click image for larger view.

(Above) Patriotic American shield (c. 1919-1929) with 13 stars to reflect the 13 original colonies, arranged in two rows, with a large star in the center of the top row. The construction consists of a large sheet of artist’s board, laid over a shaped strainer frame, made of thick pine. The hand-painted, red, white, blue, and gold polychrome paint survive in an excellent state of preservation, with light craquelure. Click image for larger view.
