Yeah! I love thinking of the guy who made it, spending time and perhaps chuckling to himself as he cut all the pieces and installed the pulleys etc.
I've been meaning to share this crazy find. It's a 12" x 9" x 5" handmade wooden box that looks pretty Dia de los Muertos. There's a little metal...
Thank you. That's a super interesting idea. That might account for the numbering too, if they were mass produced, so to speak. The interior of...
Thanks everyone for the compliments! I'll keep looking at West German and Danish pieces. One more question, if I may: is the fact that it's so...

Thank you once again for your excellent help, Taupou.
Chain saw work... now that's an interesting category-- one we don't see here on Antiquers very often.:bored:
Ok-- thank you for the assessment. I thought it might be Mexican, as the Navajo ones are often more elaborate. But I also thought it might be a...
Yeah-- I noticed that too. I'm not sure what if any significance. It measures 29" x 40".
Based on previous comments from @Taupou I am thinking this is a Navajo weaving. But I know Mexican weavings just like this are common. Is it...
It's a total guess but I'd say Caribbean for the statue, perhaps a place with a colonial history with the British. Wide-grained wood wood usually...
