Wonderful Hand-carved Folk Art Cathedral with Iron Buttresses cast bronze object I've looked at a fair

I've looked at a fair number of these antique hand-writing practice notebooks at this point and think the content in this one is especially excellent

Wonderful Hand-carved Folk Art Cathedral with Iron Buttresses cast bronze object I've looked at a fairThis amazing little cathedral I know came from the estate of a pastor in Iowa, who had quite a collection of small folk art cathedrals, that I am sorry not to have landed more of. This one, though, I think was the best of all of them, including hand carved (whittled, really) spires, and then these great bent iron buttresses all the way around. I am not the least bit religious, but I believe in the holiness of this; so good! 5 1 4" l x 2 7 8" w x 4 1
