and demolished in 1947

with a little wear to the black paint at one end of the box as pictured

With a satisfying sort of rebus aspect to the use of the icons

With hole running all the way through his chest

I wonder if these charming old barber's pole whimsies were carved by a barber in his spare time

The Army Made a Man Out of Me, Much Handled 1943 Miami Beach Beefcake Snapshot mauve glazed vase and demolished in 1947Another one just too fun to resist for the photo itself and for the notes on the back written by the subject, and for its beaten up condition, too, suggesting that it was carried around by someone for a good many years. Perfect that it was taken in Miami Beach, and I love the "Hair Cut" in quotes. 1943. 4 7 8" x 3 3 8". Creases, losses, cracking as evident, which add to its objecthood!
