Here is a real survivor! A very Folky Wooden Rooster,
that has been mounted and framed and is ready to hang. It may have
started its life as a Weathervane Pattern or a Barn Decoration, but
whatever it has a lovely warm patina, is circa 1890-1900, and has been
worthy of saving all these years! What a form, and what a look! 33" x
25".

Wooden Barber
Pole circa 1890 in original paint and crazed surface. This is an unusual
pole in that it is octagonal in shape and this is all it ever was. It
measures8.5 x 8.5 x 39.5 tall. Made to sit on its base just the way you
see it. There is some expected wear on about 15-20% of the pole. It would
also make a super base for a great piece of folk art.
