Nicely Carved Folk Art Pointer traps never released into the wind

never released into the wind but still looking ready to take flight

with no cracks or flaws in the celluloid

This is the second table snuff box I've found

Nicely Carved Folk Art Pointer traps never released into the windQuite a nicely carved little hunting dog I'd say, with the grain of the wood enhancing a sense of its alertness and forward pointing readiness; one can almost feel it sniffing out a scent! Nice warm patina to the dry wood; mid century I'd guess, with a mcm sort of sleekness about it. 4 7 8" x 3 1 4" t x 1 3 8" and in very good vintage condition.
