Green and Red Painted Wonderful Old Wooden Toy Row Boat man with horn 5 1/2 inches tallI'd guess that this wonderful old wooden toy row boat has seen some pools and ponds; perhaps the oars, which I'd guess were one affixed to the sides, were lost at sea! I love it now for all of its scuffs and wear, which I think only enhance the gorgeous green and red paint of the exterior, and creamy white inside the boat. Just a marvelous tabletop or windowsill object, which at least for me feels quite romantic and inspires a longing for adventure. 8
