to simulate fur

but when I purchased this one at an antiques store in New Hampshire was told that with bristles this long it is actually a clothes brush

I'm always opening old books in hopes of finding drawings inside

Stern Little Carved Man on Turned Base deer in landscape with really a fantastic surfaceI just love the stoic expression of the face of this little carved man, and also the silhouette created by his tapering arms and flared pants, three quarters length so as to give a full view of his boots. Standing atop his old tiered, black painted base (repurposed from something else I assume), he has a trophy esque aspect about him, as if a poor man's version of an Oscar! 5 3 8 t x 2 1 16 d (base) and in great condition, varnished, 1950s or so I
