Handsome Sailor, c. 1920s Real Photo Postcard of Navy Man vintage folk art sculpture and with a steel post

and with a steel post attached to one front leg should one want to stand him outside the front door for a bit to keep an eye on things

Quite a finely done watercolor

This old handmade box makes me very happy

with some foxing to the upper right corner especially

but don't know for sure--but I'd love to think all of the invitations that went out were hand-drawn postcards like this one

Handsome Sailor, c. 1920s Real Photo Postcard of Navy Man vintage folk art sculpture and with a steel postI just like the looks of this sailor, standing proud in his uniform as if measuring his girth against the trunk of this large tree. And something about the look on his face makes me think was his sweetheart who took the picture, perhaps just before saying bon voyage! 5 7 16" x 3 1 2 and in very good condition, unused back. C. 1920s I believe.
