Sweet Old Carved Shovel Whimsy 1905 and as far as I

and as far as I can tell there is only one bit on the whole piece that is lost- at the very center of the top

or laid flat

both of which I'm listing separately

as well as because I purchased it from a dealer in Dusseldorf

Sweet Old Carved Shovel Whimsy 1905 and as far as IFound (in Maine) separately from the pair of whittled chains I've just listed, but feeling very much akin. It's almost gardening season, so a good one to gift to one's favorite farmer, or else to wear around one's neck for good luck growing! Of course all sorts of metaphorical implications for a shovel (and the act of digging) too. A sweet one, with nice age to it. 5 1 4 l x 1 1 8 w (at link), very good condition.
