9" tall x 6 1/4" at widest

I assume this double-sided 13 was once part of a carnival game or something like that--or perhaps it marked an especially challenging obstacle on some sort of course

Sweet Old Carved Shovel Whimsy Hamilton (look them upFound (in Maine) separately from the pair of whittled chains I've just listed, but feeling very much akin. It's almost gardening season, so a good one to gift to one's favorite farmer, or else to wear around one's neck for good luck growing! Of course all sorts of metaphorical implications for a shovel (and the act of digging) too. A sweet one, with nice age to it. 5 1 4 l x 1 1 8 w (at link), very good condition.
