This one is is signed and dated (1851 it looks to me

due to the stigmata piercing the palm of the hand

and then that eye ball looking out of the corner of the eye

As with early primers

I have a weakness for old figurative skittles or nine pins

C. 1920s-40s Hand-painted, Double-sided Letter Blocks sewing tool This one is is signedThese blocks were individually hand painted by someone pretty great at painting letters. Only a partial set, but double sided yellow on red on one side, white on red on the other, with double letters for VX and YZ. I consider them a puzzle or challenge of sorts, inviting one to see how many different words and combinations of words one can make with them. They also feel very carnivalesque to me, and that excellent "O" alone sold me on them. Each
