Handsome Sailor, c. 1920s Real Photo Postcard of Navy Man vintage folk art sculpture and with a steel post

and with a steel post attached to one front leg should one want to stand him outside the front door for a bit to keep an eye on things

animated by bold swipes of blue and yellow paint

with tickets (chances) sold there and payouts made as applicable

The style and the amount of gilding lost make me think it is pretty old

Handsome Sailor, c. 1920s Real Photo Postcard of Navy Man vintage folk art sculpture and with a steel postI just like the looks of this sailor, standing proud in his uniform as if measuring his girth against the trunk of this large tree. And something about the look on his face makes me think was his sweetheart who took the picture, perhaps just before saying bon voyage! 5 7 16" x 3 1 2 and in very good condition, unused back. C. 1920s I believe.
