Vintage Folk Art Penguin, Signed H. Sloan, Maine double sixes Here is fun double deck

Here is fun double deck set of “Godey’s Ladies” cards

particularly distinguished by this matte green jacket with felt-like surface

A variety of woods were used

Much hammered and thrown around but all the better for it--works and looks great

I can't not rescue things like this

Vintage Folk Art Penguin, Signed H. Sloan, Maine double sixes Here is fun double deckThis is one of six carved and painted birds I found together, all signed H. Sloan, Maine, and I believe dating to the 1980s or so. I've found a few other birds signed by Sloan out there on the internet, but haven't been able to dig up anything about him, and don't have a first name. I rather like that he didn't just stick to birds found in Maine, as evidenced in this very sweet penguin, whose posture, and demeanor too, feel just right. 6 1 8" t x 1 3
