I've documented a representative sample

It appears this was cut down along the bottom from a larger bookplate

with several pages toward the end of broad Spencerian flourishes

I found these together (along with a lemon) and think they complement one another nicely

Soulful Little Carved Bald Man Bust antique tole box I've documented a representative sampleA wonderfully curious little carved bust, which came out of the same estate as the two faced jig doll and two black haired carved figures I am also listing. To me he looks one part toddler and one part old man and definitely as if a loner in the world, really rather existential feeling. Great little ears too. . 2 5 16" t x 3 4" w x 7 8" d and in very good old vintage condition, I'd guess 1920s 40s or so.
