Folk Art Man (Shriner?) with Great Face and Tray carved and painted face and even better one's you

and even better one's you don't have to look through a scope to see

Very good condition in original box

but would make a great mirror too

I'd guess 1920s-40s or so

Folk Art Man (Shriner?) with Great Face and Tray carved and painted face and even better one's youI found this guy in Upstate NY near Albany, and while I don't usually go for folk art "butlers," he's shorter than most, easily set atop a table, and in his red cap looks to me like a Shriner, with tray out not to serve but rather to collect! Lots of personality in that painted face, too, looking both kindly and nervous or as if about to crack a joke! 19 1 2" t x 9 1 4" w at base x 4 1 2" d. Good condition, sturdy and sound, with general surface wear
