Vintage Folk Art Rubber Band Gun Kids




Vintage Folk Art Rubber Band Gun Kids.  Tough ones!  I date this original photograph to the 1950s, and wish the weapon were adequate today.   A plank of wood, a clothespin, some rubber bands and a foe.

Pair of Miniature Carved Bee Skeps in Mustard Paint Folk Art Toy Sculptures Antique



Pair of Miniature carved Bee Skeps in Mustard Paint.  At least that is the only thing I can figure.  My guess is that these were carved for use in a handmade toy farm tableau or some type of decoration?  Clearly old and with thick mustard paint.  Each 3 inches tall, and remnants of green paint on the base.

My second 19th Century Folk Art Handmade Jack In the Box.  A little prize for a child way back when, and for a handmade toy collector like me today.  See other example HERE.

The Good Ship New York Folk Art Boat Model Tramp Art Paint








Why is so little tramp art painted? I am not sure...the familiar notch-carved cigar box chip constructions would always look better with a little color. That dark, varnished brown hardly livens up a room any...and because of it I have always felt one piece in a room was enough.

Why didn't the makers ever add color?


My boat is almost three feet long, constructed with available pieces of wood and with every color of paint within reach.
