Insane-'Wax cameo portrait of a gentleman in a blue cloak, presented in a nice gilted tin shadow box frame'.
What a wonderful cabinet of curiosities parts of New England must be-18th cent galore. It helps to be a true expert in that part of the country, to tell the wheat from the chaff.
Re early West Coast, that'd be NA,Spanish Colonial and Goldrush- all pretty much MIA in the privies I shop in.Course my venues are pretty darn cheap.
Out here an early-sixties Bullwinkle Soaky Toy is considered Americana.
Here's that portrait-

 

I saw one of those for the first time on an Antiques Roadshow. Problem is I cant remember if it was the US or British one !

 

I saw the same one. USA, I think.

 

I can smell that stuff !!!
Half of which we've seen here and the other half we'd love to have show up here !!!!

and about a dozen or so things that I'd want........sigh..

 

Lord Almighty ! Looks like an auction from the 1930's-the genuine article...not a Pokemon in sight !
