Today's $2 estate sale 'find': [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Let's not waist the opportunity to start crackin' the puns. I can be the butt of a joke.
Yes, the coloration and designs on the two parts look like they were done at the same time, rather than a marriage. I think shell--- there's...
Well, Jesus was indeed a carpenter. ;)
What is this object? A plane for wood working? If so, why bother decorating it w M.o.P.? Could the 'wings' be handles? Seems like they'd break....
