may be the most refined of the bunch

One sees lots of old handmade wooden doorstops of a similar manner

I had not made the association when I purchased this photo

but there is a date of 1877 carved into the back

sometimes set into the handle of a gun

Colorful Boy and Warriors, c. 1920s-30s Naive Graphite and Crayon Drawing on 19th c. Ledger Paper hand painted sign may be the most refinedThis is one of five drawings on ledger paper I am listing, all found together, with some 19th c. writing on some of the pages, but the drawings done a few decades later, I'm guessing 1920s or 30s, when a kid, or a couple of them, got a hold of the ledger This one I love for this colorfully crayoned, dapper looking boy in yellow pants and cap and color blocked jacket or cardigan, with wonderfully bright eyes. And all the better for being juxtaposed
