Nicely Architectural Old Carved Pine Double Ball in Cage Whimsy with Gabled "Roof" for the entry but I find it beautifulAnother week, another whimsy I search pretty hard for good ones, as you always scoop them up right away! and what a small charmer this one is, found in Maine. Wonderfully architectural, with four point gabled "roof", two balls in cages, and sweet little stilt like legs. Carved of pine, with nice warm dry patina, I'd guess second quarter 20th century. 43 4" t x 1 1 4" x 1 1 4". Excellent condition, nice dry patina.
