Well Knocked Around Old Wire Jointed Man with Red Stockings and Large Hands tinsel painted sign this one I believe made

this one I believe made as a rattle for a baby long ago

The wood is worn thinner on the front where the latch closes

looking pretty cozy and well protected to me

perfectly wonky placement of the dots

Not really sure why necessary though

Well Knocked Around Old Wire Jointed Man with Red Stockings and Large Hands tinsel painted sign this one I believe madeA sweet old painted, wire jointed figure, who looks rather French to me, and who I love most of all for those large hands with black paint against oyster white detailing each of his fingers. Perhaps there were once strings running through the wire loops at his joints that tugged at his limbs like a puppet, I am not totally sure. Now, he will balance in various positions on his own, including in a partial headstand! 8 7 8" t x 3 1 4" w arms down x 1".
