Wonderful Old Scratch Made Elaborately Painted Tin House Still Bank with Wild Chimneys doll cradle Though he has occasionally carved

Though he has occasionally carved other small animals

painted on what appears to me to be linoleum (glass like surface) with masonite back is a terrific example

as it turns out

Wonderfully primitive in the manner of the carving

Wonderful Old Scratch Made Elaborately Painted Tin House Still Bank with Wild Chimneys doll cradle Though he has occasionally carvedCollector dealer Pat Hatch, well known for her extraordinary black doll collection, has been selling some small things at an antiques shop I heavily frequent in Maine; I scooped up several pieces from her this week, including this scratch made, hand painted tin house (and bank with a coin slot at the top of one chimney and underside that slides open) along with a carved wooden cottage also listed today. You know I love a piece of folk art
