Minnow! Old Folk Art Ice Fishing Decoy hexagonal crayons I found this standing magnifying

I found this standing magnifying glass buried deep in the basement at the estate sale of an avid collector (approaching hoarder) especially of Victoriana

which is grayish brown

the house will slide a little forward and backward on the base (it sits in grooves made by folded tin on the sides) should one want to slightly adjust the distance between the couple and the front fence-- but be sure to leave them plenty of room to spin

or perhaps a whole armature with platform

How to resist this delightfully goofy

Minnow! Old Folk Art Ice Fishing Decoy hexagonal crayons I found this standing magnifyingA charmer of an old ice fishing decoy, in the form of a minnow with some remnants of old paint, including a dark blue eye on one side. About as rustic as an ice fishing decoy gets, which is why I love it. With a carve out for the mouth, and a trail of lead weights along the bottom. 4 7 8 l x 2 t x 1 7 16 w and in good, much used and aged condition, all to the good.
