Best Old Painted Face on Post with Excellent Patina and Unknown Function (Carnival?) trump markers how one wishes all thoseI have no real idea what function this once served maybe some sort of a carnival knock down? Whatever the case, it has seen some knocking around, adding up to a perfect patina on that marvelous painted face, which in no world could I resist. Just an excellent thing with just the best old painted surface. 11" t x 3 1 4" w (face is 3 1 4" in diameter) x 2" deep. Perfect patina, structurally super sturdy and sound, with a loop on reverse for hanging.
