Nice Old 14 Inch Carved Whimsy Chain man with cap and she is definitely one

and she is definitely one with whom I think I'd hold a lively ongoing conversation

This one I know dates to at latest the 1960s and I believe is carved from caribou antler

I know from the seller that this old whimsy came from an amazing estate on Madeline Island in Lake Superior that had been built by two Norwegian brothers in 1905 and was filled to the brim with a lifetime collection of antiques

Bern and printed in Switzerland (they are noted with a "1921 copyright (renewed in 1948)" this is a much rarer

I'd guess this old cutout wooden stork head was once attached to a body and lived in a yard or garden somewhere

Nice Old 14 Inch Carved Whimsy Chain man with cap and she is definitely oneThis old whittled whimsy chain, carved from one piece of wood, has a lot of character, with squarish links that very much show the hand or blade, rather of its maker. I might hang this one on the wall from one nail at the center with the ends hanging down, as it feels like they want to rattle against each other, ideally in a very old, maybe haunted, house! 14" l x 13 16" w. There is one rough patch on one link, as pictured.
