This great piece is fresh from a Greenwich CT estate. See the image with descriptive card. It measures 3 3/4 inch diameter. VH condition. These birds (not the nest) have been made from mushrooms.
Piece is 3 1/4 inch tall, metal. painted on both sides depicting a woman in a Santa Claus dress and hat. Primitive. Odd. Brass base measures 2 3/8 x 4 3/8 inch.
We doubt that you will find another.
farm estate in Connecticut. Comes from a farm on Shaw's Hill. The old woman at the homestead helped us date it. This really well done bank is all wood and measures: 3 1/2"L x 2 1/2W" x 3 3/4"H A window in the front and a slot for coins in the bank in the back. The hole in the bottom will allow up to a quarter to come out. It appears that only a cork was used for the plug. It is in EXCELLENT condition and will add a fantastic addition to your Folk Art/Still bank collection! -banks churches-
