A magnificant Graduated set of Nine(9)Childrens Mammouth Story blocks. Mfg. by J.A. Crandall's in 1881. THE MARRIAGE OF JENNY WREN AND THE DEATH OF COCK ROBIN.

All blocks are lithographed on 5 sides. The story is printed on the top of each block. Normal paper wear/loss. Wonderful graphics and color. Boxes are finger jointed.

OIL ON CANVAS, CIRCUS IN TOWN, TELLA KITCHEN
An Oil on Canvas of the Circus Coming To Town by Tella Kitchen. Tella Kitchen (1902-1988) is often compared to Grandma Moses. She is known for her Folk Art Paintings and for Naive Landscape-figures. She is listed in: DAVENPORTS ART REFERENCE, THE ARTISTS BLUEBOOK, WHO WAS WHO IN AMERICAN ART, MUSEUM OF AMERICAN FOLK ART AND AMERICAN FOLK ART. One of her pieces is shown on plate 61, pg. 215 on FOLK PAINTERS OF AMERICA by Robert Bishop. She grew up in Vinton County, Ohio. She later moved to Attica, Indiana. She painted this oil from memory of the circus coming to Attica as a child. We purchased this in 1987 just before she died. I have tried to picture every scene in the painting. Every color in the rainbow, the homes in the background, the American Flag, the balloon vendor, clowns and the African American children on the other side of the fence. It is in Excellent condition. It has been reframed in 1988. The canvas is 22 x 27 1/4 inches. The frame is 25 3/4 x 31 3/4 inches. Please email if you have any questions about this painting.

CELLULOID FISHING BOAT, JAPANESE,19th C.
I have tried my best to find out more about this piece with no luck. It was included in the collection from the 30 year old collection of the retired antique dealers. They didn't know anything about it except that they liked it. We all feel that it is made of celluloid. It appears to be Japanese based on the mans clothes. I feel it dates to the late 19th. C. It measures 7 1/2 inches lg., 2 inches W., 4 1/2 inches H. at the top of the net. The carving detail is outstanding especially on the man. The net comes off the boat and the carved fish are free in the basket. The warm color and surface are very pleasing.
