Cottage and Scissors, Sketchbook Drawing by Emma Ackerley, Sing Sing New York, 1870 large open sign Stanley and a few other

Stanley and a few other tool makers produced beautiful bone rulers

and is four layers deep on its sides and three on its back

While the tile shows its age in the form of scratches to the surface revealing the red clay below the glaze

which allowed for clicking through multiple images on rotating cardboard disks

2" x 2" x 2" and in very good antique (I do believe) condition

Cottage and Scissors, Sketchbook Drawing by Emma Ackerley, Sing Sing New York, 1870 large open sign Stanley and a few otherPlenty of foxing and stains on this old sketchbook page of drawings done by one Emma Ackerley in 1870, but I love the drawings so much theres no way I could pass it by, and I find this combo of cottage with green tile roof and open scissors below strangely satisfying. Great details too, especially the shutters and curtains of the cottage, points on the picket fence, and tiny little pump out front. Signed not once but three times by our Emma, dated
