C. 1900 Painting of Boaters on Souvenir Paddle boy scout totem pole with the tail and head

with the tail and head both turning easily (via flathead screws

but I love it

perhaps even more so

each piece has its specific place

which also creates a sort of back stoop when pulled forward

C. 1900 Painting of Boaters on Souvenir Paddle boy scout totem pole with the tail and headA little loss to the bottom edge of this pine wood paddle, but I thought the little oil painting of two boaters on it too charming to leave behind. I believe this dates to the late 19th early 20th century and would have been a souvenir purchased at a vacation spot, clearly somewhere on the water! In addition to the transportive view, I love the self referential nature of it, especially a miniature painting of a paddle on a paddle. 16 1 16" l x 3 13
